This is odd. I have never had to install anything special to use the df
command (there is ">" with the command). The reason I asked is that if a
partition being in Ubuntu is more than 95% full, the system will feel
sluggish and slow down.


gigs free space. I do not have any special effects enabled. Under
"Appearances," I checked 'normal.'

Okay. Special effects might be too much for this system.


I realize these days 375 megs of ram is not a lot. I'd rather go back to
hardy than spend money on a machine that's over 5 yrs old.

When you system is running, what is the output of this command:
$> free -m

It will show the memory (RAM) usage in your system.



Otherwise jaunty seems to work well, except with skype; I'd switch to
another if I could. Skype sometimes grabs 70% of the CPU when FF is
running, then won't shut down.

I saw another post here, I think you need the statically compiled skype
(oss) from medibuntu repos to get around this problem.

Regards.

I could not get > free -m to work either. I copied it into terminal. Does
not require sudo does it?

$ > free -m
bash: -m: command not found

Am I missing something from the operating system?

I think I remember seeing something on skype re:P medibuntu.
