Have been enjoying your work for someti...Hi there,<br /><br />Have been enjoying your work for sometime and glad to see you've moved to Linux - some real advantages to be had!<br /><br />I'm sure you've had other offers of help but to quickly answer a couple of your questions:<br /><br />- Defragging is not necessary in Linux. <br /><br />- Deleting system temp files will also be handled more or less automatically. You can, of course, choose to have this done at more regular intervals if you wish for reasons of privacy or security. But generally on a single-user machine, there's no need to worry about it.<br /><br />Compared to Windows, installed programs can be updated much more frequently as the open source software community adds features, closes bugs and addresses security holes. It's a good idea to keep your installed packages up to date using the package management software built into Ubuntu.<br /><br />V/R,<br />blinferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
