Mark, Windows 1998 is being compared to Linux 2001. It's like Ben said: the applications are tuned to different (older vs. newer) hardware configs, and you need more swap (and swap won't necessarily make it lightning fast, but all around better in a few respects). IE will be faster for a number of reasons (most of it loads at boot, it is much newer than at least Netscape (4.xx) on Linux, ...), and differences will be exacerbated by running on a lower memory (for this particular kernel) client with inadequate swap space. Good luck, Troy >>> markbrowne at mn.mediaone.net 09/13/01 10:36PM >>> I am still geting used to Mandrake 8.0. My concern is that with a dual boot system Windows seems faster than Linux in KDE. Example: Explorer opening a web page 3x faster compared to KDE or netscape on same system. Is there some sort of speed tuning I should do? I am testing Linux primarily with a 133 MHz P1 with 64 mb with 20mb of swap. Don't tell me to get a faster box - I have one. WIndows 98 runs OK with this hardware. I have tried several other distributions with much the same results. I fear that the claims of Linux speed in relation to Windoze may be just hype.
