You should update your Cinnamon instructions. The latest version 1.6.0 - comes with a Cinnamon 2D session so it can now run on any computer whether or not it has accelerated graphics.

instead of stopping swap its not good you should put a tutorial about setting swappiness value to 10 or 20 %

that means when your 10 or 20 % ram left it start swaping only by then ie

for example you set swapping to 10% and you have 1 gb ram and its reach 921 mb + (91%) on that its start swap

here its explain in better way please check these

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq

http://askubuntu.com/questions/103915/how-do-i-configure-swappiness

edit: Ubuntu Desktop uses Swap to Hibernate so its needed.

So there is no drawback of enabling it at 10% value

Mack_Guy,
You've got me beat by a year. I first started using Linux back in 2005 shortly after I signed up for DSL. Prior to that I was on dialup.. .

On a side note, I'm looking forward to the release of Gnomebuntu (the name is in flux) on Oct. 12th, 2012.

Later....

P.S.
Sorry, folks but Ubuntu Gnome Remix (Gnomebuntu) will be released on Oct. 18th, 2012, not the 12th.

There's a beta of it available for download at...

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/ReleaseNotes/12.10Beta

should you wish to try it now.

Later...once again....

 

Way behind both of you in terms of expertise, but then I am much older and slowing down.
First used Ubuntu Gutsy (7.04) in August 2007 dual boot with XP.

Have either of you tried Manjaro ?

 

hahahaha but i seen computer 1st time in my life 1999 or 2000 of course you beat me on that

i still remember that time it have windows 98/95 still it look like wonder machine to me

1st thing i seen on pc is non-nude Demi Moore poster (wallpaper) on my neighbour pc and i want computer because of that

hahahahaha

so silly

i guess 2004 i started some networking and linux course that time i know linux i thought there are only redhat and fedora


yes i used dial up too for a long time 56K modem

in india that time they say OMG your son knows computer

its like you own a alien ship

and now oh no another nerd

hahahahahaha

 

because Ocky you have other expertise

i used to live in stone age country or maybe still living

i started with same ubuntu 7.04 too before that i use fedora core 2........fedora 14

even now i am using ubuntu 12.04 unity not best but not bad either much better than gnome 3 or kde to me as daily use

 

I added more info to the guide, I never use the power saving feature "Hibernate", I read "the devs have disabled hibernate because of a known bug up stream." I dont really know about mint on a laptop because I never Installed Mint to a laptop, but I hear the Suspend feature works great, suspend is also disabled by default on a desktop install, dont know about a laptop?

Ill look into this more though..thanks

 

sorry for late replay

on docks you can see docky and AWN too
