I'm using icewm and it is *fast* and functional. You mentioned seeing a slow down in performance when going from 2.4 to 2.6 kernel. This is the opposite of my experience. I find 2.6 much faster than 2.4. Strange... My setup is a 570E thinkpad PIII 500MHz with just 128MB RAM. You've got 26(or so) S* entries in your rc.2/ directory. With that many start up scripts... booting is going to take a long time. My Thinkpad does a great job of suspending, so I don't necessarily have to reboot all the time. -- Regards, dbp
