Acer Aspire One question

sb44

I know every so often on our main pc we do a disk clean up, defrag etc but can you do the same on the Acer Aspire One if using Linux?

The only thing I can see on there is the drop down menu under 'Tools which says ' clear private data '.

The way Linux handles the Disk you don't need to defrag. As for 'disk clean up', the way it removes programs keeps the system pretty much clean. The only thing you need to worry about is files in your home directory.

There's a great litle program called malwarebytes, it's available for free on on a site called Download . com (many gems in there)

I run spybot, adaware, AVG, CCcleaner, you name I have it and this little beauty has caught 920 nasties the others have missed....plus it cleans everything up

I do a defrag and disc clean on mine without problem ;-)

no chance of that running on linux (not that you would need to anyway)

when i booted into my ubuntu partition the other day, it did a disk check and said something like next disk check in 25 startups or something else (that i cant remember), whichever comes first.

Those are Windows programs. The poster is asking about the Linux version.

Do you have the Linux or the Windows Acer one??
Sounds like you have the Windows Version sandy..

The OP has Linux version so does not need Anti-virus & CCCleaner is a Windows program NOT Linux.

The OP does not need any of those programs you listed.

Yup Ubuntu does a disk check every 25- 30 times the machine is started. But it does check to see of the drives needs to be scanned when they are mounted.
