Hi Bill,

Thanks for your reply.

Re: Monitor
I find that my CPU will run at 100% for long periods of time & 
everything slows to a crawl.
Also Ubuntu sucks down the memory something fierce.

I've run Linspire 6 & the memory & Cpu usage are much lower.

Right now my memory is down to 73 MB out of 2 GB...
I usually start off with 1540 MBs or so & then it rapidly drops.'

After opening Thunderbird Mail with 14 email entities & a Firefox  
window or 2 I'm down to 1100 MB before starting to browse or write, etc. 

The memory usage is as bad as MS Win XP.

Linspire 6 will start out at 1700 MB and drop more slowly with use.
When I close something out it will jump up a bit.

Any suggestions?

Ed
