[Bug 404478] Re: downloaded Linux, super slow & cannot download shockwave or anything that allows videos & sound

[thecarpy]

Ok, I was unsure if this was really a valid bug, because you mention
several things, but, since you are using firefox to download an archive,
apparently, and that fails, it is hardly a bug in ubuntu. Looks like the
link is broken.

Do you hear the welcome sound when you log on? If so, your sound card is
working. I suggest you go to www.adobe.com and try and download the
plugin from there if you have not done so yet. Last time I tried, the
link was working.

As for your "linux is super slow" experience, I suggest you open another
bug for that and explain in more detail what your complaint is. What is
slow? are you starting from the DVD, or have you installed it locally on
your hard drive? If you are starting from the DVD, it is normal that the
software response is slower than a hard drive install, because the
access speed to a DVD is significantly slower than to a hard drive.
