Thanks Alan. I think the thing that gets to me is that aside from
whatever I may choose to run on it I expect a machine I paid £300 for to
run properly to begin with. None of these solutions address the problem.
They more sort of side step it. I doubt I'm going to find the problem,
I'll just have to avoid Packard Bell next time I upgrade.
The problem is not the computer, the problem is the software you're
running on the computer.
Cheers,
Without a doubt Alan. But I continue to be amazed by Ubuntu's ability to
boot up on any given machine and out of the box you've got touchscreen,
wireless, sound, printers all set up and working. If I had this
situation back in 2005 when I was on Windows it would just be another
day in the office. Nothing works on Windows without banging your head on
the screen for a while, we know this. But I've gotten used to not having
to worry about this sort of thing so often these days.
In the ideal world Linux should be able to identify whatever it is that
makes my machine crummy and deal with it. But it sounds like nobody at
the top of the chain has pinned this one down. I'd actually love one of
you guys to have a peek at what's going on when this thing is under
moderate load, perhaps you would spot something I'm missing.
