OK, these are all xubuntu but there's not a big difference between xubuntu and ubuntu. I think it's KDE that can eat a lot of

Thanks for your replies... i was just wondering. I had no problems with xubuntu 10.04 but did with xubuntu 10.10 (which everyone else seems to run fine).
As for KDE - i found Mepis ran beautifully on a test P3 512mb... when it comes to KDE Mepis is ace.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop machine and have had no performance problems at all.
I tried the 10.10 netbook remix on my netbook and found that while initially usable it soon became too slow to be useful. By "soon" I mean within a minute or two of logging in. I suspect a memory leak in this case but I did not have time to investigate and had to put 10.04 back on it which works fine.
Steve.

I tried 10.10 on my netbook and hated the unity interface so much I binned it pretty quickly.
