That is possible. Recently, the family complains about my computers performance. We use this pc with me (kde) and 1-2 others running windowmaker and kmail + maybe one or 2 light applications. Whenever I am logged in, their session becomes dog slow to load (probably swapped out), and doing things like opening a new konqueror window takes ages. My kernel version: 2.6.15.1 (vanilla) I have 256 MB of Ram. Should be enough for anyones desktop. -- Frank Van Damme
