I would like to say thank you to all who replied to my inquiries as to 8.1
operating slow on my P120.
I have made some notes from your comments and thus will try an older dist or
lighter X application. On the other hand I may just upgrade the
machine...things to ponder.

I had trouble with 8.1, mandrake 7.1 through 8.0 were blazing fast for me,
then came 8.1 download edition, slow and unstable, Some people have had great
luck with 8.1, other's like ours have sucked and cause me to use a different
distro for now. I hope 8.2 will be better

Mandrake 8.x is roughly equivalent to Windows 2000, at least if you are
running KDE. That is a serious drag on a P120. Some things that may help
are:
Upgrade your kernel to 2.4.17 (this can help, but not much in the case of a
P120)
Install more ram (again, some help, but the P120 will alway

what kernel? the default? to quote civilme:
"Even more helpful is kernel 2.4.17 or later because the virtual memory
algorithm thrashes the disk much less. This was the big slow-down for
the changeover to kernel 2.4"
upgrade that kernel.

Are you running KDE? If so, that's a lot of overhead for a 120. A RAM
upgrade would certainly pay off, but you may like to try a lighter
desktop environment - Enlightenment is often mentioned as a good choice
for lower overhead and you can still use the KDE apps apparently.
