It shouldn't be a lot slower. Things that might affect it are How much RAM have you got? How full is your drive?

Given the amount of memory you have (1Gb) it shouldn't use the swap space (unless you have a lot of processes running simultaneously). I have read about some problems when using more than 768 Mb ram and the advise has always been passing mem=860 at the lilo prompt or in lilo.conf. Just my 2 cents.

My desire is that no matter how many users are using, only ONE fetchmail process is needed. Instead of all users running their own fetchmail, have the system run ONE and have this one process check for ~/.fetchmailrc files in all user directories and go from there. As a new user creates a .fetchmailrc, the fetchmail daemon would simply find it and use it on the next fetch. Fetchmail can be run as a user and will pull from the ~/.fetchmailrc file of the user it is run as. So, you can have user controlled processes of fetchmail. You can not have user controlled daemon processes of fetchmail because this would violate security features to not allow users to have root access. From your answer I assume that fetchmail is not capable of this. To my thinking, this is a flaw in design. Instead of designing a system that requires each and every user run independent instances of fetchmail, it is self evident that a single process handling the mail for any and all users is more logical and clean in design. Well, not giving users root access to a daemon may seem like a design flaw to you, but it certainly doesn't to me. And I also agree that a single process handling mail for all users is more logical which is why fetchmail is designed to do exactly that. It does not, however, include giving control of that process to the user themselves, since that would provide a hook for a user to potentially gain higher than their user level of access. Centralized processing should always be controlled by a central administrator with access handed out only as needed and as limited as it can be. Fetchmail can't do this? Is there a fetchmail-alike that can? I do not know of any. You may want to inquire on the Fetchmail mailing-list, they would be experts and might have some suggestions. Here I see two different philosophies: .- The one used by fetchmail, in which you can either start it as a daemon and have a centralized administration, usually on /etc/fetchmailrc, or start it as a cron job leaving to each user the task of maintaining his/her own ~/.fetchmailrc. .- The other one, used by procmail, which is almost like fetchmail's, but you may also include the ~/.procmailrc recipes with a line in /etc/procmailrc: INCLUDERC=/home/$USER/.procmailrc There is a trade off: if you choose centralized administration you lower the risk of breaking something but increase the the administrative burden on root and vice versa. I think that procmail philosophy give the administrator more choices, something that most linux users love. Adolfo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] 100% steady processor load using RC2
(This is part of a post to the newbie list. Sorry to those subscribed to both lists). I am back in Mandrake 9.0 after installing RC2 with all its updates. The one to blame is a process named keventd which overload my processor (Toshiba laptop 5005-S504, PIII 1.1Ghz, 512 Mb) I downloaded the three iso images and checked their MD5 string. Then I updated everything using the string that I got from the plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php. I noticed that KDE was sort of slow, so I started gkrellm and the processor load was at 100% all time. I assumed that there might be a problem with ACPI (for the first time power management was working nicely under Mandrake), so I turned it off using lilo noacpi and reboot. The same: processor load at 100%. I turned ACPI back on. I launched KDE System Guard and found the guilty process: keventd (no idea about what it does or what it means). It kept using between 80 and 90% of processor computing power. I remember having this sort of problem with kernel 2.4.20 but I gave up and went back to 2.4.19 May somebody give me a hint, or link or reference (RTFM are also welcome) related to this strange behavior?

Ric Nothing. And everything. BTW, it was supposed to go to the OT list. A careless click did it all. In the 90s, when OS/2 version 3 was launched and NT 3.5 was still vaporware, I read somewhere that software companies were massively commiting suicide by developing only for Winblows and not for OS/2. At that time I learned about the new DOS version and Lotus 123 story. Companies like Borland (Quattro Pro, Paradox, TurboC, TurboPascal), WordPerfect, Lotus (123, WordPro, Organizer) and Ashton-Tate (dBase) kept developing only for Winblows, while M$ kept hiding secrets API that were needed for program to work in an acceptable way. And every new version of Winblows made those program behave even weirder or slower. That article was prophetic. Those company are gone, downsized to molecular level or serving a niche market. Also OS/2 is gone. History is repeating again. Companies are not developing for Linux because it doesn't have a significant market share in the desktop arena and instead they kept developing for Winblows. Meanwhile M$ is doing everything it can to show people that competing software quality is inferior. And if they can't, then they do something to make people life harder installing the competing packages. Could you imagine the position of Linux if there were the products I already mentioned for this platform? Well, my guess is that right now would be a massive move from Winblows to Linux. It would be the end of this chicken-egg history: companies don't develop for a platform because there are not enough customers working on it, but customers don't adopt the platform because there are not enough application to work with on it. Meanwhile the only winner stay healthy in the US Northwest coast. I would hate going back to Winblows. Right now I make most of my living with Windows and live happily in Linux. By the end of the year that sentence will only contains the word Linux. My clients are now open to make the move. Again sorry for posting a non technical subject in this list. But it has a lot to do with Mandrake future as a significant desktop operating system from the point of view of market share.

[expert] No Power Management
I upgraded to kernel-2.4.19-24 (this time from MandrakeClub) and turned on all ACPI settings but DEBUG. I hoped I could suspend or hibernate my laptop and mostly, spend more time working on battery (only like 30 minutes while in XP using ACPI more than 90 minutes). For some reason that I have no idea, the laptop power management applet doesn't work and it gives the message: Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation. Probably ACPI was enabled, but some of the sub-options were not enabled - you need to enable at least 'AC Adaptor' and 'Control Method Battery' and rebuild your kernel However, as I already said, I enabled about every ACPI parameter before compiling. The relevant output of my .config is: linux cat .config | grep -i ACPI # CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI is not set # ACPI Support CONFIG_ACPI=y # CONFIG_ACPI_HT_ONLY is not set CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP=y CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA=y # CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set Should I try recompiling setting the options as modules?

[expert] Kernel Upgrade to 2.4.19-24
I have tried twice to update the kernel from 2.4.19-16 to 2.4.20 the first time and to 2.4.19-24 the second one. The only problem that I am facing is that I can not get X to start. Now (after enabling ACPI) doing shutdown -h now my machine power-off (Femme, I know somebody said that it doesn't have anything to do with powering off, but in my case it does), my sound card is recognized (this problem has been a major PITA with Mandrake and this Toshiba laptop) and every service is starting fine but the graphical environment. Now I am absolutely clueless on what to do or where to go and will consider installing Mandrake again just a last resource(several installs in last 2 months in the process of learning but now I have a fairly decent setup that I don't want lose). I started with original /boot/config and only added support to ACPI and dropped a lot of modules, mainly ethernet cards that I don't use or need, old disks support, radio amateur support, SMP and picked Pentium III/Coopermine/Celeron as processor. Upgrade was made using gcc 3.2 (after doing the upgrade I read advises against it). Hints, clues, tips, advises or RTFM links will be truly appreciated.
