How to speed up Ubuntu on a netbook

0

How do I speed up the latest version of Ubuntu on a VIA C7-M 1.6 GHz based netbook (HP 2133)? For example, full screen videos are very slow in the default configuration.

What type of videos? If you're talking about high resolution videos (720p and higher) you're not going to get spectacular result, really. – alex – 2010-04-10T17:12:40.680

Why was this down voted so much? Sure, not much information is provided, but it's still an acceptable question. – RJFalconer – 2010-04-11T10:55:32.720

Have you tried Ubuntu Netbook Remix? It is aimed at running better on netbooks.

Or you could try out XFCE (or xubuntu) or LXDE as lighter-weight desktop environments.
