Thank u for yours advices,
what I do right now, it's reading man page for ext4, like MR ZenWizYou told.
it's a lot of information there.
Also I'll try to use Hal Burgiss advice about to tweak MySQL.
It's a lot of work there, thank u guys for advices. Now I know where to
look...

I was able to open the document with Adobe Reader 9.4. Even Google
Documents couldn't open that PDF!

I recommend to the OP to complain to whoever supplied him with that
document. The file is PDF 1.6, but obviously contains unusual
extensions.

As it was supplied by the State of Texas, I'm doubting that a complaint
will do too much good.

It's strange that only Adobe Reader can read this pdf file.
This PDF have DRM or others protects?

Glad it worked for you.

At least you do not have to use Windows.

My Spanish is very rudimentary, but I believe you wish to install Ubuntu
on the second partition of your hard drive.  To do that, you should
move all your Windows files off of the D:\ drive.  Then use GParted* to
set up Linux partitions on this portion of your drive. Make 2 ext4
partitions of 14 and 24 GB and format them, and make one swap partition
of 2 GB. Then the Ubuntu setup should go easily.

* A bootable download of GParted is available.

If there is a Spanish email list for Ubuntu, you should use that.

Hope that helps--doug

It's just a theory but maybe the PDF document has some kind of malware
in it?  I have heard that there are some serious security flaws in the
PDF format itself.
