just yesterday I installed 12.04 - 64bit.



Is it normal that installing a package (Chrome for example) takes 5 to 10 minutes (compared to Windows 7 for example which takes 2 or 3)? (with end result: installation failed)
Otherwise is it normal that while the system is doing some installation,extracting packs and so on, other applications often become unresponsive?



Sidenote: I don't care about fancy desktop effects, I installed ubuntu to go on and experiment with web servers, memcache, Varnish and git/svn. So basically I plan to do lots of console-only operations.



My surprise was also the difference of stability compared to an old FreeBSD installation I had on a dinosaur P3 550Mhz :)



(I am on a SONY VPCCW2S1E) (I guess it might have to do something with my problems?)



I noticed when doing 'top' that the process that is taking most of the CPU time, and that is pumping up randomly, is mount.ntfs.

I did some research and found out that the fact that I installed Ubuntu on a partition of a NTFS drive might have to do with it. Here is what I found:

It seems that there is no clear solution besides dropping ntfs because of the driver which does not seem to work that well.
