I used the internet cache tweaks on an eee pc 900 with 2G RAM, a 4G SSD, and /home set up on the 8G SDHC card. I’m running Mint 7. This WORKED for me! The hangs prior to tweaking were unbearable. No more hangs after the tweaks! THANKS

Hi Matt. As far as I know it doesn’t have to be your user name, but it needs to be unique for each user, so files won’t be written into the same folder. I used my login name, which everyone has under Linux. You might have it set up so your computer logs in automatically, but there’s a username underneath that somewhere (under Ubuntu: System -> Administration -> Login window).

Sorry about the beginners question, but should I replace “yourusername” in step 6 with my own user name? If so, how do I find my user name? I don’t have multiple users on my 901….I don’t think I ever set one up?

After doing these + disabling ipv6 my freezes are a little better…but not gone…so I figure I didn’t do something right

Thanks

Hi Roy,

Thanks for your article. This is a big difference on my EEE PC 900. It has been very annoying to have to wait 5 seconds after loading a new page. This seems to be history. Thanks a lot!

Hi AC. Yeah, I’ve been using it for a week now on my 901, and haven’t had my browser slow down like it used to, not even once. And you’re welcome .
