comment Do I need to tweak sysctl.conf to improve performance?
It would be awesome if Ubuntu provided some syscntrl profiles that could be used, depending on what a server is used for. Or maybe people think that the benefits are not enough to notice.

comment How to change the resolution of my desktop?
I'm a pretty advanced user and I find that sometimes, its easier to re-install my OS , than it is to try to hack the X window settings or rely on a driver update that is "claimed" to work.

comment Why is it bad to run as root?
The difficulty of getting into root mode varies between distros. I personally am annoyed by how Fedora doesn't allow you to 'sudo' right out of the box. OpenSUSE and Ubunto do have pre-configured sudo though... and so if you choose the right distro, you can minimize your annoyances at not being able to get access to files.

comment Will Ubuntu 11.04 work on my old pc?
128MB of video memory is plenty to get a 1920x1200 resolution on your monitor.
