Re: Re: KDE is running extremely slow.
I see. Is Gnome for Cygwin a viable option? Or should I downgrade to an older version of KDE or something? Thanks for your time :). - - [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

KDE is running extremely slow.
I have an 800 MHZ PII with 384 megs of RAM. I'm new to this linux thing. Could anybody point out the most common possible causes? Also, KDE runs pretty faulty... I get error messages every minute or so. Is this bad?

Or do you run X on MS-Windows and connet to a Linux-box and launch KDE from there? If you have no idea what MS-Windows has got to do with anything, then you are on the wrong mailing list. The topic of this list is the X Window System on MS-Windows, not Linux. If you want help with KDE on Linux or Unix you should be writing to the comp.windows.x.kde usenet newsgroup. -- Anton

Yes, I'm running XFree86/Cygwin with KDE 2 on top of it. Anton Vaaranmaa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
