It runs VERY slow, as in so slow I boot into Windows 98 when I need to get work done. It simply flies in Win 98 but being the Windows hater I am, I want my Mandrake!! I need some suggestions as I have stopped any services I don't need and it's still slow!![root@diggy jason]# cat /proc/meminfo total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 63893504 62132224 1761280 0 1028096 29138944 Swap: 263168000 45903872 217264128 MemTotal: 62396 kBOnly 64 Megs, that's the first thing. Also, according to the above line, you have 45 Megs worth of swap used. That means it's reading and writing to the harddrive almost constantly. Post the results of "ps -aux" to the list. Something is eating up 45 Megs of memory on your machine and that should show what it is. Blue skies... Todd
