Hi everyone. I´ve just installed sarge (release 3.1r0a) on my Athlon XP 2600+, 512mb RAM, and I cannot get KDE to work in a tolerable speed. After I log on in kdm, I get the splash screen, which "hangs" in "starting system services"... I thought it had crashed, but after about 7 minutes, it got KDE started!
Inside KDE, things go really slow as well. After I click on the ´K´ button, it takes about 2-3 minutes for the menu to appear. Clearly no one can work with such a system. Strangely enough, windowmaker works just fine, while gnome won´t get started even after several minutes of waiting (unlike KDE). I´m a newbie to debian, but not to linux (at least I thought so until today). Can anybody figure what is going wrong?
