Thread: Speed up ubuntu?

i'm using samsung nc10 netbook minimal specs. want glorified, distraction-free typewriter, file management , syncing abilities. end, i've installed ubuntu 10.4 netbook edition (exclusively, not dual-boot machine), , removed games , music/email/chat applications. i've installed pyroom , dropbox, , left openoffice on there.

it's slow dog. when clicking on left-hand menu bring netbook browser, takes 10-15 seconds show up. there noticeable lag when typing. main function want computer for, that's real drag. readily admit netbook lethargic running windows 95.

what settings can fiddle maybe eek out little more speed on thing? i'm linux newbie , don't know using command line things. elsewhere on these forums saw recommendations crunchbang , puppy linux, don't know or how them, or if they'd suitable newbie (read: command-line phobic person) me.

thanks,
cb
