Re: Using XFCE 4... What can I turn off to make it faster

2003-07-28 Thread James McDonald

 Hi James.

 I use XFCE 4 on a number of laptops and what has helped me most is running
 prelink over the install.
What is prelink?

Umm never mind -- http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/prelink-howto.xml

 This is done on GENTOO, but I would assume that
 prelink can be found on the net somewhere and used on your Mandrake as
 well.

 Cheers.

Using XFCE 4... What can I turn off to make it faster

2003-07-27 Thread James McDonald
Hi All,

I have just moved to using XFCE4 since I was getting tired of waiting for
KDE apps to launch on my PIII 600 Box. It has sped things up considerably
but I would like to know if anyone has any pointers on improving
performance on Linux boxes...

I have

Mandrake 9.1
2.4.21 kernel
XFCE4
PIII 600/512MB RAM
it is running Apache 2.x and Postfix and squirrel mail.

Actually can anyone point me to a book on performance tuning.

Also I noticed that Keith(Antoine) is back online what was the story
behind your disappearence?.. everyone was worried about you.
