I have searched ubuntu forums to no avail. My network connection has
slowed down considerably since I installed Ubuntu Dapper (6.06.1 LTS) I
have disabled ipv6 in /etc/aliases and Firefox, still slow by about 50%.

My machine AMDSMP is dual boot w2k/ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS (2xAthlon 2000+ 512
RAM), network is at full speed with win2k and Fedora Core 5 (now
deleted) on this machine.

I have another Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS machine SERVER (2xP3-500 256RAM) and a
Win2k KIDPC (P3-866 512RAM) on the same home network that do not have
this problem with the network slowdowns.

My benchmark is http://www.testmy.net/ website. Every machine on the
network has been tested separately, while other machines were turned off.
First off, why the heck are you using 6.06.1?

6.0.6.1 is the currently supported version for 3 years.

Yep, but you are trying to get support for it from HERE. If you want
support for 3 years goto the COMMERCIAL place that supports it.

3 year security support, not commercial.

Stop being a fuddy. Upgrade to Edgy and the newer kernel and init
system.

fuddy? mamma mia please don't get too technical with me.

Then come back here.

Until you at least become current on you workstation, stop asking
questions.

Do you honestly think that everyone here is using Etch? or Sarge?

All I see is many struggling to help you on a system that is not Debian.

I don't really care to support an OLD version of a Debian derivative,
that isn't really Debian in the first place. Do us THAT before we
continue.
If you are so pissed off that I'm not using 6.10, why are you replying in the first place?

I am not PISSED, if I were pissed and I had the gumption to reply, you'd
get a seriously LONG e-mail. Not just a 2-3 pager, a novel.

and Ubuntu isn't really Debian?

Nope it has diverge significantly that many Debian packages will not
install on Ubuntu's Edgy.

what do you call a distro that uses apt, aptitude, deborphan, dpkg, etc and claims to be based on Debian?

WOW, thats a lot of Debian, did you go through the trouble of noting that Libranet is now part of Mandriva? Impressive.

do you call it Yoper?

Thankfully, others have been very helpful here. The correct way to say the above is to use "ME" instead of "US", unless ,of course, it is planted in your head that you are a spokesperson for "all".

I guess, since we are now supporting Ubuntu, we now get to support all
those other one. Thanks Ben, you've just opened a can of worms.

No, Greg, you (again with the collective WE) don't have to support anything, you could have easily ignored this thread, it is not like I was gonna comeback and cry about it.
