I agree, I'm running Gnome (standard with RH8.0) on an Athlon 1Ghz with 500MB Ram (single workstation, no LTSP) and it still takes forever to load. Does anyone know if Ximian Gnome is faster than "vanilla" gnome? Is anyone actually using Gnome/KDE in a significant LTSP implementation? tom ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
