Welcome aboard. Those times are about average for a 1GHz machine. In the case of OpenOffice and even Mozilla, I always use the -bin distros, and they are speedy enough. I do have KDE and GNOME emerged, although I don't use them much, but I don't jump on the bandwagon immediately when a new version comes out. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
