In Windows , we get the option "speed up sytem" on inserting a USB penDrive... Can we do the same in Linux... I am using ubuntu 12.04. I am working on a project in College and the system(desktop pc) given to us is Painfully slow... (Low RAM).. I tried installing preload and zswap... But i cant find much difference...
The system freezes or hangs-up if u have 5 applications open(say firefox, python shell , terminal, libre open office, Documents folder.. for example.) or if 7 tabs are open on firefox...! and wwe usually restart the system after waiting for some 5-10 mins.
Pls Advice..
Thanks in Advance!
