Question: I would like to make a new installation of Lubuntu Core  

I will use only Lubuntu Core on this machine.  

I use a [HP 6820s](http://www.cnet.com/products/hp-compaq-6820s-17-core-2-duo-t5870-vista-business-xp-pro-downgrade-2-gb-ram-250-gb-hdd/specs/) 

I will have very few files on HDD, some poor quality movies and some documents. 

I would like to partition the HDD like this:

HDD 250 GB:

* 20GB - ext4 - / - for the operating system
* 4GB - swap
* The rest of 220 GB on 2 equal partitions of ext4.

	1. Is this the best choice of HDD partitioning for speed?
	2. Is ext4 the best solution for speed for my hardware configuration and my files?
	3. If sometimes I will use some files from Windows should I create a FAT32 partition too?
	4. Will the FAT32 partition make the system slower? If yes, will it help in any way if it will be of only a few GB?

Answer: 
That is the `byobu` which is a terminal enhancement that is installed. More information about it can be found [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byobu_(software)).

To remove `byobu` from your system, type in the following at a terminal window:

`sudo apt-get remove byobu`
Looks like just plain old sh to me. Type this to find out:

```
echo $SHELL

```
