PCManFM Configuration

Just a small issue I have had since installation of 13.37LXDE...it is the ONLY problem! When moving files between two open windows of PCManFM,it tends to be a bit lethargic,taking 5-10 seconds,but sometimes the folder will move,but then leave the image of the folder in the previous window..... this ...

Re: Apache (Open) Office instead of Libre Office?

Re: hardware requirements wiki

Just adding my semi-n00b thoughts to this thread,*if it is not perceived as relevant please delete*. It is worth remembering,most of the equipment Linux migrators use,was set up for Windows and their assorted crapware,even though Microsoft,have been notoriously bad at optimising resources for its pr...
