I have a PII-266Mhz with 160 MB RAM. I run RedHat 7.3 with Gnome. I usually have several xterms open, plus Evolution, Opera and the Yahoo Messenger, and the speed is not a problem for me. My impression is that you don't need more RAM. Do a "ps -axfu" to see which processes you are running. Maybe you have something running in the background that you don't need. Take a look at the "top" command, also. Another suggestion is to "purge" Evolution mailboxes, as these can get really big. I don't remember the exact command to do that, and I'm in Windows now (I have a network adapter, that I use to connect to my wife's laptop, which I have not gotten to run under Linux). -- Saul Arias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
