Dear Friends,
I suspect you do not appreciate how very slowly my system operates. No one
in his right mind would work with anything so slow and unreliable. I am
therefore certain that the problem is not in Linux, but rather in my
system.
I checked "free" before I started a session today, and the swap partition
was practically empty. I did startx, and KDE rose majestically and very
slowly onto my screen. Took about FOUR minutes before the HD stopped
churning and I had control of the mouse. I wanted to recheck the "keyword"
block mentioned in my other letter, so I started Netscape. Another FOUR
minutes and I was able to search a dos partition and make the attempt. No
success, so I decided to go on-line to access NS Help.
I clicked on Index, and waited TWENTY FIVE MINUTES while my HD spun and I
had no mouse, nor any other kind of control ... nor any results from the
Index. Finally, after trying ^Alt+Del several times with no result, I had
to press Reset, because I don't have shares with Bezeq. This can not be the
way it's supposed to be.
Someone said that 32 megs is too little for KDE. That was not mentioned on
the box when I bought SuSE, and I can't afford just to go out and buy more
memory. Besides which, my 98 works just fine on the RAM I have. What can I
do to get a working Linux desktop with the resources I have?
