I see. I still have a windows perspective when looking at all the processes running in the background, consuming resources. LInux seems to have fewer and be more efficient.
Good to know, thanks.

He is using a USB not a hard drive, so if it is loading the OS into RAM that reduces the available free RAM, which can reduce speed.

Hmmmm. I could try to remove it and see if there is a difference. I was thinking along the lines of the first poster though.He is using a USB not a hard drive, so if it is loading the OS into RAM that reduces the available free RAM, which can reduce speed.
He didn't post back there was a big difference in speed. Thanks for the input.
