Works fine, except that KDE is quite slow and when I run several apps, it seems it runs out of memory so all the windows just close. But it's all good Linux si teh l33t  j/k.

  i think its not Teh Linux that is slow, its ur CPU, and ur huge ammount of RAM...T2k ;  You should use Dell, not Linux!! ;  I can only hope that last post was a joke... My sig used to be, "God was my co-pilot but we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat him..." But folks whinned and I had to change it.  ;  ...   ≡()≡This post was made using Mozilla Firebird;quote:Original post by liquidAir  ...the Konqueror web browser running Slackware Linux 9.0.You have a browser that runs Linux?Aren''t there laws against that?-- Swan Tomato Baglady;quote:Original post by liquidAir  ...the Konqueror web browser running on Slackware Linux 9.0.Ok, I just couldn''t resist.

I''m still a Windows user Er, if you have an ancient computer that can''t handle KDE, why don''t you use something a little leaner? Choice is one of Linux''s big advantages. ;  I don''t even use kde on my pc lappy at all, only 256 MB ram and a P3 900, Gnome 2.2 runs decent, fluxbox would be optimal if you could, also you could get some improvement from getting a distro that has packages at i586 or above, like what Redhat doesn''t do, try something like suse, with gnome, that runs fairly well. I personally wouldn''t run KDE on a machine unless it was a desktop with a lot of power, 512 MB Ram, 1.2 GHz+, etc... Also that browser is kinda slow as well, may I suggest something like mozilla firebird, it is very lean, and works very well.
