All, I recently used the ximian install script to update to gnome 1.4. Prior to this I had used red carpet to update the system but owing to a few problems ended up using the script instead. After using the script, the system started to work very slowly (click netscape button, hard drive light flickers, goes out, flickers, goes out and about 20 seconds later starts). It has never been this slow before. Owing to this, I had to reinstall LM 8.0 (I am not yet a competent troubleshooter!) and ever since doing this my system has been running the same. I repartitioned the hard drives, formatted, etc. There should be nothing left to screw things up. I had really just started to ditch M$ too, and now my LM system is running so slow it is frustrating. Even a terminal takes 20 seconds to open. I have a 40gig HD and a P4 1.6 so it is not a slug. Any suggestions?
