Question

A fresh install and clean up?

My upgrade to 12.04 seems to be slow and there seems to be something that is sapping my system resources.

I have no data on the machine - everything is in the cloud including Xmarks bookmarks for Firefox.

Is it best to do a clean installation? If so, how do I do it?

Thanks John.

This one is stil valid: A fresh install and clean up? Follow the accepted answer and skip anything you do not need (my guess: start at the 2nd 4th pointer. — Rinzwind, May 07 '12 at 11:12

In addition to the above, I would add that if you are on a dual boot system with Windows, check that you are not using a wubi installation and that you are booting from the disk and not running it from Windows.
