I had Xfce running in 9.04 ubustu, I didn't really notice much of a gain in performance for plugins, the gui was more responsive, faster drawing and zooming, I've changed to a more powerful machince since then and am back to gnome. <br> Tommy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 8:09 PM, Kenneth Koym <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:koymkg@gmail.com">koymkg@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Robin: Hold on, I applied Xfce via synaptic package manager and ended up reinstalling 9.10 from scratch as I lost most of the Ubu Stu I had working. Don't know about Lxde. Burn a DVD of your OS using scheme given in an UbuntuForum.org tutorial. This'll let you rebuild easier. <br> Kenneth <br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 2:52 PM, Robin Darlington <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:robin.darlington@free.fr" target="_blank">robin.darlington@free.fr</a>></span> wrote:<br> </div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div><div></div><div class="h5"> Hi everyone,<br>I am running Ubuntu Studio on an aging laptop (celeron dual core 1.6Ghz, 1gB RAM) and I am wondering about installing either Xfce or Lxde to try and gain some performance (I am about to start mixing an album and want to be able to use lots of plugins in Ardour).
