Ok... Ubuntu is (by the moment) out of cucusa, the reason.. well I tought that using a 64 bits processor will speed up my experience, I wonder firefox and evolution opening in just 1 second tongue.png , naaa, but It's suppossed that using a OS at least compiled/optimized for amd64 shoud run faster that Slackware, compiled and "optimized" for i486.

I guess that happen, but with ubuntu that is not the real life. The reason: Ubuntu uses a lot of memory. I check my memory state after bootting and it was using at least 180Mb!!!. and that was at booting (gnome and session already started), and in this time using ubuntu I feel like when I had voladora, I mean, I had 60% memory used by active programs and 38% by caché, and having Evolution, Firefox, gaim, xchat and some terminals opened I had that and 50% of my swap used. So, more or less 250 Mb where used by active programs (and 50% swap)!! That, for me, is too much!.

With Slackware I have Gnome with all my session openen for less than 100 Mb, and with evolution, gaim, and everything else with 250 Mb, but, with no swap used. Well, that is nice for me, because the system doesn't have to deal a lot with read/write in swap, and then it is faster.

I feel Slackware faster than ubuntu linux, until ubuntu linux team fixes the memory leak in their system.

try xubuntu is you are concern about the memory, or you can always change your laptop

Yep, I didn't really take xubuntu in mind, but, what I am saying, is that in Slackware Linux Gnome 2.14.3 runs with less than 100 MB of RAM, and with Ubuntu takes more than 200, Why?. Maybe the option is leave Gnome and use XFCE, but what If I don't want it? what if I want to run Gnome with less memory?, always is gonna be cheapper change my distro than change my laptop face-smile.png don't you think?

I check in my laptop gnome in my laptop runs under 100MB without any other problems, but probably is because I am running on a DV5000T with Intel Core Duo processor T2600 (2.16 GHz) and 2.0GB DDR2 SDRAM and on the other hand I have a old Pentium 4 1.8GHz with 128MB and Ubuntu is a bit slow but still under 100MB thats weird
