[Techtalk] Ubuntu 10.4 LTS

[rathgild at gmail.com]

I've finally taken the plunge and upgraded to Ubuntu 10.4 and I'm seriously wishing I hadn't.  Since the upgrade my system is running about as slow as a snail on valium.  I'm not doing anything particularly taxing (running thunderbird, xchat, a web browser, and the occasional bout of einstein's game) and my machine has a duel core AMD processor with 1GB ram.  It's been more than adequate until the upgrade, but now is behaving as though it on it's last legs.

Is this just me or have Canonical lost the plot and developed a bloatware distribution?
