Hi James, *; and first off, thanks a bunch for your comments on that. :)

That could eventually explain things... What exactly is the problem here? Seems to fit, along with eventually a little more load caused by the full-blown GNOME desktop, after rebuilding XFCE on my installation [1] things also seem to be a bit faster in some ways...

No problem. :) Been using it in "everyday" work at the very least most of today, using NetBeans and Glassfish as well as Firefox and Thunderbird running the same machine, and (except for Firefox and Thunderbird being sluggish at times) it overally seems to be usable at least. :) > The installation is a bit slow considering the > amount of data copied, but once they get it right, most users shouldn't > be too concerned, granted it can be done in about 40m or less, and 15m > via a network image. Yes installation used to be extremely slow, most Linux distributions do better here, but then again, how often am I supposed to re-install after all... :) > driver (with pci11ab,436a id) and ath driver (with pci168c,24 id) Then > the codec availability issue, Fluendo is still not coming through, > leaving us with dirt in our mouths. +1, definitely. > But for what it is, I am quite happy so far, just wish that the > developers wouldn't alienate their AMD system owners because of C/P > state TSC issues which are an architectural fault of their own. > http://opensolaris.org/os/community/performance/technical_docs/amd_tsc_power > basically only Intel can step down clock Aaah I see. Well that's where I after all feel lucky, it seems my Tecra notebook doesn't have any trouble with this so far. Not that it really would matter, as I am merely using it as a "portable workstation" which is connected to AC most of the times anyhow... So far OS 08.11 feels pretty pleasant, though... leaving the Firefox/Thunderbird speed thingy... Let's wait and see then. :) Cheers & all the best, Kristian [1]http://dm.zimmer428.net/index.php/archives/408 -- Kristian Rink cell : +49 176 2447 2771 business: http://www.planconnect.de personal: http://pictorial.zimmer428.net "we command the system. calling all recievers. we are noisy people for a better living".
