Usage Experience

The server version of Ubuntu is the command line interface, not easy to check the data. So, I installed the desktop version of Ubuntu. Running on the MacBook Pro desktop version of Ubuntu, easy to cause fever serious, fan sound is loud, experience is not very good. Remember before WinTel on the computer ran Ubuntu quite smooth, next time find a WinTel computer to use.
