Just some stuff for my personal reference (or yours if you're interested in it!) since I've been tinkerng with my computer a lot trying to get the best performance out of it. I recently tried to install Arch Linux then Arch Bang to no success : ( then went back to lubuntu. I might retry later or go to a different distro if I get antsy.
