Fast here too. Actually I do all the building of Evolution (the software I hack at work) building on my powerbook, since it is always with me. My desktop machine is a dual celeron 433 and it is just a bit faster, not much. Maybe you are using the framebuffer-device Xserver, that makes the screen redraws very slow since it is not much accelerated. Try Xpmac or the experimental XFree4 debs instead. cheers, Tuomas -- .---> [EMAIL PROTECTED] . |\,/| [EMAIL PROTECTED] <-----. +----> www.helixcode.com - ()-@@ , tigert.gimp.org <----+ `-----> art director , `--')/ a gimp artist <---'
