if I have two hard drives and I install linux mint will the other on be deleted?

[sirAvatar2]

No if you dont choose to.

[augustuen]

if I have a slow portable pc (1.43 gb RAM, 1.6 ghz) would it be better installing linux instead of windows xp?

[sirAvatar2]

It depends. There's no ultimate answer. If you're looking just for performance in web browsing and using OS native apps, Linux is your choice. You know what, give it a try. You can install Ubuntu to your XP, just like a normal program, and then uninstall it without consequences.

how is your Linux mr non-noob? :D

[ocpud2999]

No not fake. Linux has always been known for fast boot times. Reason: it only boots what it needs or what you tell it to load at startup. Other reason Widnows uses a registry. Linux simply uses files. linux simply boots faster by design.

lol, dude. Software doesn't slow down because it's "old". Do some reading before you try to make an argument, please. Ignorance is contagious.

В ролике (Скорость загрузки Windows в VirtualBox на Linux (kubuntu 11.04)) четко видно, что Linux победил Windows по всем параметрам. Хотя если из винды выкинуть все лишнее и по разумному переписать дрова, то она будет хорошей платформой для игр (или скупым подобием на Linux). Вот только если игры и вправду перейдут на Sony PlayStation и Xbox то нафиг такая без идейная ОС нужна.

Linux рулит!)

@RNRi5thleader Then imagine linux booting on your computer:) almost half the time...

[RNRi5thleader]

linux isnt bad, but i wouldnt go saying Bill lost, if Bill Gates lost then everyone would use linux, also, even though your computer is older, mine boots in like :30, flat, with rainmeter, ventrillo, my playlist, and wow ready to go, 20 when i just have windows boot with rainmeter

The comparison is not quite right!

There you have many Windows programs are started.

(Task bar) making the whole thing slowly.

Linux can see something heavy, which has started to programs.

If both systems have the same programs, then the comparison defend properly.

[billymantwo]

Der Vergleich ist nicht ganz richtig!

Da du unter Windows viele Programme hast die gestartet werden.

(Taskleiste) Das macht die Sache langsam.

Unter Linux kann man sowas schwer sehen, was an Programme gestartet ist.

Wenn beide System die gleichen Programme hätten, dann wehre der Vergleich richtig.

Firefox? I use Opera

[dolphinnightmare]

i have never seen 2,34 minutes to firefox.. theres something wrong with the computer..

И это называется тест.

На линуксе из всех тестов видно, что оформление прикольное и чуть быстрее грузится, а как на счет стабильности работы? совместности программ?
