hi,
i've recently installed redhat 9.0 on an athalon 650 with 128MB ram.
i've previously run various linux flavors from the commandline, but i'd like to
make the switch to X, primarily so that i can toss my windows box out the
_window_ once and for all.
the installation went without a hitch: i just held down 'next' and
went with the defaults. when i finally booted, however, X took forever to
load, and once it was up, *everything* ran *very* slowly (10-15 secs to load
mozilla). a quick look at the system monitor shows that my ram is almost
gone (111 out of 128) and the cpu is frequently pinned. this is with
*nothing* open other than startup processes.
is something wrong, or do i need a faster system to run X? in it's current
state, it's unusable.
thanks,
hawkeye
