After your mail, I searched the partitions for beagle related files, and there were quite lot of them. I have just deleted them. If there is anything noticeable, I will post on the list. Thanks for sharing the information/tip. Regards Vikas Garud PS: SuSE 10.3 is released. Anybody has any idea if these problems persist in the new release?

Re: [PLUG] Computer slows after some time
Hi, Now, to find out other such pieces of softwares and remove them ... You know I have been using VectorLinux Std Edition [1](which is based on slack) for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love the bloat free software on it. It works great on my old laptop which has less than 200Megs of RAM. -Devendra. Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha! Play Monopoly Here and Now (it's updated for today's economy) at Yahoo!

[PLUG] Computer slows after some time
Hello, I have SuSE 10.2 installed on Toshiba Laptop. 1 GB, 80 GB HDD (Win XP 30 GB, Win FAT 5 GB, / 8 GB, /home 20 GB, Swap 2 GB, /SomeDistribution - unmounted - 12 GB) About a month back I installed Beryl Desktop and that filled up the / partition to about 95% level (about 350 MB Free). However, the computer did functin normally. Over next couple of weeks, the computer started to go slow in a peculiar manner. The functioning would be normal immediately on logging in. It would slow down gradually and it would become noticeable after 20/25 minutes. The HDD light would be continuously on, even with no activity on my part. In fact, the HDD activity light would remain on even more than one hour after the screen saver was invoked after 5 minutes of inactivity. I tried to trouble shoot: 1. May be the problem is due to low disk space on / partition (about 200 MB). Emptied the trash, released some 50 MB, no effect. 2. Deleted all games (I wasn't playing them anyway), freed some 300 MB more, still no significant effect. 3. Deleted Beryl Desktop, freed some more space on / partition (free sapce now is about 800 MB) Some improvement, but no real change. 4. Updated the system through internet - now the / partition has some 200 MB free, but the performance has not deteriorated more than step 3 above. Still degradation sometime after logging in. The process table shows about 100 processes, used memory about 1,000,000KB and free memory, about 2 KB. Swap - about 1,980,000KB used and about 120,000 KB free. It also shows the process with update-status with maximum system % - fluctuating in the rage on 5% to 30%, followed by ksysguard, and xgl. I searched for slow computer, linux, suse 10.2, etc., however, couldn't locate anything that would help. What should I do to get the performance back to normal? The last option is to re-install everything. In that case, what are appropriate/optimum sizes for partitions - / and home? Sorry for long mail.
