Hi, I really do not want to flame (I have been using KDE for many years and I do not mean to change anything about that), but can anybody explain why KDE has so lousy multi-tasking? Or is it whole Linux? I have noticed it for long time, but couple of days I was working on Windows XP and running something terribly complicated with Access, it was running completely out of its mind, but when I switched to the other window where I had Excel, I could work without problems and I have hardly noticed almost dying Access on the background. Whenever I run something more complicated in Linux (gcc, update of slocate dbase), whole computer goes almost to halt (and it is not that bad computer -- Dell Inspiron 2200 notebook w/ Celeron 1.4GHz, 512MB RAM). I believe that Linux should have perfect multi-everything, but apparently there is some problem with my configuration.
Can anybody kick me in the right direction?

Well, one day we were going hiking, and she presented me with a really nice backback. The only issue with it was that it had the MS logo emblazoned all over it. Of course, she knew I wouldn't refuse it. Anyway, she said to me, "Isn't that nice? See? What'd RedHat ever give you for free?" I replied, "An operating system." That was one long, quiet hike. -- disserto on Slashdot http://slashdot.org/comments.pl\ ?sid=138492&tid=109&mode=thread&cid=11590292 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
