Yes, some programs run as fast as can be expected (fetchmail. procmail, exim4, lynx) some respond slowly (xemacs21 ) and some (mozilla family) are near comatose. So far I haven't needed a program that doesn't run adequately fast for my needs - but I have't tried appletalk yet ( it did work under woody and sid, I didn't need it under sarge ; I hope it works under etch) . I had Xfree86 going under sarge and hope that I can run xorg under etch. > > garbage collecting (that means it is short on memory and > spending more time managing it). > That is what top indicates - thanks. > Are you setting up something like a thin client, only Xserver and > running xclients from an server ?

Plan B - 'local' shop will install more memory if you advise it's worthwhile.
