Title: Message



Now, I 
ask:
 
Have 
you ever come across a Mac user whom is not religious about 
it?
 
 
I am 
getting that way about (Mandrake) Linux...
 
 
 
Also, 
thanks to all the people who replied to "Speed... or lack of?" post, I added 
256MB of RAM, and I hardly notice any slow down.  I read about updating my 
kernel, I don't know if I need to just yet.
 
 
Thanks 
again!

  Hi,
  I am looking for a good, thourough and detailed, technical comparison of 
  Mac OS X versus Linux.  A friend of mine is a really "religious" Mac user 
  and it will take a lot to make him try Linux.  I would like to help him 
  with this.
  Please send me any good articles (or links) you have.
  Thanks,
  Andrei

[newbie] Speed.... Or lack of?

2002-02-08 Thread Jason Ditri 

I just installed Mandrake 8.1 on my machine.

PIII @ 733MHz 64 MB Ram, 40 GIG HDD, With about 38 GIGs free.

After I use KDE or GNOME and browse the internet for a while (maybe 20 or 30
mins), the machines starts bogging down so bad that it takes MINUTES to open
new windows, check mail, open apps, etc etc...


Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.


JD
