As you can imagine, the end result of all this is a rising number of happy users. However, it has forced me to take some time to think out the choice of distribution to install on their machines. Being recent converts, they themselves usually had no preconceived preferences, but were happy to have me choose. Any version of Ubuntu seemed suitable - mostly for ease of installation and maintenance, though the availability of Catalan language translations was also a positive factor. But I think we can all agree not all *buntu distributions can get the same speed out of lightweight hardware.

So I wanted to look at some hard data before coming out with a public recommendation – my professional reputation being at stake, so to speak. Evaluating available possibilities meant finding answers for the following questions, a process that I would like to share with you here:

Is there really a difference in speed between the various desktop managers? Is this a real difference, as opposed to merely a perceived difference?

What about the processor and motherboard? What influence do they really have on computer speeds?

Notebook hard drives do not have a good reputation. Is it important to take this factor into account? Could it be worth the time and money to upgrade the hard drive?
