I just upgraded a Lenovo S10 netbook that was struggling to breathe even on 3.2. I must say the performance is notably better. Whether that's the inherent code or the new ram drive, I don't know, but videos on Chromium play perfectly now. Great job.
One suggestion: I love the Welcome screen, both the idea and the way it's implemented, but I think the check marks on the left column items is confusing, as it gives the impression that the tasks are completed.

Two things. If you upgrade your main computer to LL 3.4, please update your forum profile to reflect that. Secondly, by videos in Chromium playing better, are you referring to YouTube videos or something else?

[member=5239]torreydale[/member] , that wasn't my machine, but I have updated now.
Yes, that was youtube, which had been a problem on the netbook.

Good to know. I can think of someone's machine I'd like to try the zRam on, too. YouTube issues, as well, on that one.

3.13.0-24 sounds like your kernel; yes that can be updated but depending on your system newer kernels are not always better. You'll want to be cautious.
To check LL version type in terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) pressing enter after each command
LL 3.4 is the most recent anything less can be upgraded if in the same series (3.1 can be upgraded to 3.4 - if 2.x series will require a new install)..
To check kernel version
LL4.8 UEFI 64 bit ASUS E402W - AMD E2 (Quad) 1.5Ghz - 4GB - AMD Mullins Radeon R2
LL5.8 UEFI 64 bit Test UEFI Kangaroo (Mobile Desktop) - Atom X5-Z8500 1.44Ghz - 2GB - Intel HD Graphics
LL4.8 64 bit HP 6005- AMD Phenom II X2 - 8GB - AMD/ATI RS880 (HD4200)
LL3.8 32 bit Dell Inspiron Mini - Atom N270 1.6Ghz - 1GB - Intel Mobile 945GSE Express -- Shelved
BACK LL5.8 64 bit Dell Optiplex 160 (Thin) - Atom 230 1.6Ghz - 4GB-SiS 771/671 PCIE VGA - Print Server
Running Linux Lite since LL2.2

I just did an upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, now it crashes every time I load it. In fact, Thunderbird and Chrome also crash on startup.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks in advance.
