So i have been back and forth between Ubuntu 11.10 and Linux Mint 12.
both are sluggish on my laptop here, I am thinking maybe that Gnome3/ Unity is the culprit.
Going to re-install Ubuntu 11.10, and then try to sidegrade to Xubuntu and see if the XFCE desktop is a little better for my system.
It is an Intel Core-2 T55 1.66ghz with 1GB of RAM and Integrated Graphics (Intel GMA 950).
I know i need to up the RAM and i will when I can.
but for now, I'm figuring that it can't handle desktops like Gnome 3 and Unity.
