Sandra,
Its not the Linux thats slow, its the Netscape, IMHO. I have a P200 with
64mb running 7.1, and its painful, but mostly just Netscape is painful
slow... Try Konqueror, its lots quicker. Not as fully featured, but
personally, I think the needed ones are there. I try to use it when I can,
and only resort to Netscape if I must.

I am new to linux. i have mandrake 7.2.
it runs slow....like a p166 in win98!!!
I have a p2 333 with 256mb ram (mem is reported correctly in mandrake)
I have a 243mb swap partition that seems never got get used by the system.
using kde 2.
what could be wrong. i click on etscape and it takes about 10 seconds to
load. Isn't this supporsed to be a fast OS?
how do i get linux to be fast like my win98?
Thanks,
Sandy
