It's slow when I have firefox and 2 terminals open . I don't know what to do. It's running an Intel core duo 2.

if you have youtube open and idle on some or multiple tabs, that still consumes CPU. (btw)

Oh I'm using the laptop for music only because I already use my main laptop

youtube videos, or music.youtube.com ? (the latter is lighter)

#

or local mp3's ?

I'm going to use rythembox for MP3

#

if you find it to be ugly or heavy, use Audacious or Deadbeef instead
