some simple questions with hopefully simple answers

have now rested on using Xubuntu. and have 0 problems

A little too simple an installation but thats what you get for wanting your laptop to run as fast as possible.

Now to learn how to install without using the synaptic manager cause i have a download limit per month and only downloading from my ISP's FTP server is unmetered and since they have alot of linux software and releases it's best i download from there and install manually instead of using repositories
