| On my home PC (333MHZ Celeron, 192MB RAM) | I was happy user of Woody with KDE (regullary updated) | as my desktop env. | | Graphical desktop started about 1-2 minutes | and after next 1 minute I had fully functional desktop. | | But one day I decided to upgrade to Sarge | - after one day battle it was done. | | Now I have to wait about 10 minutes to start KDE desktop, | and first start of any application (konsole, mozilla) | takes a long time. | ....

I use a somewhat similar, but even slower system ....
o Compaq Presario .... 5.5 years old o Cyrix processor .... 250 Mhz o Memory ............. 192 MB o Dual-Boot OS o Win98_SE o Debian Sarge
Re-starting Win98_SE and booting into Debian Sarge with the KDE desktop fully loaded takes about 4.5 minutes ....
Approximate application start-up times from KDE panel icons ....
o konsole ............ 07-08 sec o kwrite ............. 09-10 sec o konqueror .......... 09-10 sec o moz firefox ........ 34-36 sec o moz thunderbird .... 24-26 sec
Although the application start-up times are a bit slow, they seem acceptable to me given the limited nature of the hardware I'm using ....
In all cases after the initial start-ups, the applications respond very quickly ....
Both Mozilla applications, firefox & thunderbird, also load slowly under Win98_SE on this same machine, so I don't think that is Debian related ....
Since this is my first Linux OS, I don't know whether or not these start-up times are in the same ball-park as others using similar hardware ....
