I have an old Dell, Dimension XPS computer that is running Windows XP and of course it is way out of date and almost useless, BUT!
I am running Linux, Mint, Cinnamon version 17.2 off of a thumb drive and using Firefox 1.0 for my browser and it seems to be doing very, very well. The only problem is that by running off of a thumb drive it is very slow to respond.
Now I read that this is normal and if I wanted a faster response I would need to install it directly to the hard drive.
My question is, do I need to or is it recommended to delete Windows, XP or just create a dual boot ????? partition and how would I do that?
