it wants to remove 135 packages, including removing kernel...haha, I better just hold on and wait.

Just one word I can think of: glxgears (mesa-utils package) :) Or some benchmark tests (lmbench, phoronix-test-suite) and run "glances" in a terminal to see some more verbose output than htop has to offer. well, not sure if this is what you said about glxgears? # glxgears Running synchron...

@wuxmedia, No i am not going for OC. My usage is simple. @pidsley, So yesterday I took a high risk , LOL. went for the pre-owned unit..core 2 quad Q8400 HP Elite8000 with 4G ddr3 ram and 320G,7200rpm hard disk.

NO NO it cannot be true.. 122M in live mode?

kde always.. well, 400+-500+M idling

is htop having a bug in reporting ram usage?

Pompous with vertical panel..

i would have no hesitation in buying the hp business class pc. The E8400 is actually a 3Ghz processor. I would chose the i3 over the E8400 tho . . . thanks gurtid, checked more internet and realise the E8400 is core 2 duo 3GH, not quad. contacted the one posted in ad, he said it should have been a ...

wuxmedia...

change it so the lines(just those few) are now

[Service]
Environment=TERM=linux
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --autologin wayne %I 38400
Restart=always
RestartSec=0

reboot, haha, autologin works...

You might find this interesting: https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=core%202%20quad%20vs%20i3 I think the answer is "it depends" :) I have several "surplus" HP machines, some with Intel hardware, some with AMD. They all work well. If the price for that Core 2 quad is reasonable, I t...

I am thinking of getting low cost, used hardware (HP business class) such as this one: HP Elite 8000 Core 2 Quad 2.6GHZ 4GB DDR3 RAM - Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66GHz - 4GB DDR3 Memory can anyone provide feedback on this hardware? if possible, would this be fast compared with first gen i3 machine at...

I still have two 32-bit old computers, running bbq-xfce. both of them are ok with -686 -pae. a 10+ yr-old compaq presario, very heavy old casing :) still working well! another 6-7 yr old celeron, self assembled. the slowest of all. Even WinXP 'walks slowly' but it runs ok with bbq-xfce. the rest are...
