A note for those who, like me, found Mandrake 8.0
and KDE just too slow to be usable.
Today I loaded RedHat 7.1 (Seawolf), and things are fast enough.
i.e. an xterm comes up in < 2 seconds, kwrite in < 3., and
Konqueror in < 7. Compare these to 15 - 45 second times
I was experiencing with Mandrake.
Also, I notice that I now have about 95% CPU idle, while
with Mandrake 8.0, the figure was down around 5%.
(With kapm-idled taking up 95%)
Using RedHat, kapm-idled is still there, but uses close to 0%
all the time.
