slow ubuntu 8.04

Upgrading sometimes can cause unexpected results. Backup your data and try a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04

WHATS THE BEST WAY TO BACK UP MY DATA

o0.Ooh! You don't need to scream, ptldtweety...

OPTION 1] Use a CD brurning program like Brasero or a KDE pendant if you have a CD burner installed. Select your /home folder for burning but check the maximum amount of data!

OPTION 2] If everything fails enter "df -h" in your shell. If you see something like "/dev/blahblah xG xG xG xx% /home" then you're probably fine because all your data is already stored on a seperate partition. ;-)

OPTION 3] Try to establish a smb share. Just google for "Samba". ;-)

sorry about that I didnt know the caps was on.....and i am still have ing a big problem with slow internet since the new upgrade and not sure what to do next....please help if you can thank you

Howto disable ipv6

Please use this official method to disable ipv6 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4

In short, open Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type
