I installed Debian 2.2 in a 40MB-RAM Apple Power Macintosh Performa 6360,
I don't remember exactly but I think it is a PowerPC 603e 160 MHz.
As long as I keep in text mode (using virtual consoles) it is a sweet
machine, fast even while multitasking with lots of big background
processes, including several daemons in inetd and several instances of
Emacs, lynx, w3m and links.
My problem begins whenever I try to switch to X. I runs, but so slow as
to be unusable: even clicking a button in Control Panel with no other
window open can take several seconds, sometimes more than five seconds.
I use X in 800 x 600 x 256 colors, with Gnome and IceWM. Is there
anything I can do to make this machine usable under X, preferrably with
Gnome?
