It also explains lack of defragging in Linux.


I thought of that when starting this thread, but I have been part of this community a long time and get most of my computer info here. When I find something that works I tend to try to repeat the experience.

Thanks to everyone for your guidance!

Both the Mint and Ubuntu forums are filled with extremely generous people and the code of conduct at both places usually makes for a positive experience.

When time permits I will check it out. I finally got my Windows 7 work computer up and running except it is still doing critical updates.

It is amazing to turn on my Mint machine and get online in little time. With 2 GB of Ram it is fast.

I was a little intimidated by having to input commands to install my HP Laserjet.

I have an XP computer that needs Windows 7 for the lady of the house. There goes another weekend...
