[TriLUG] mandrake performance?

[Jim Priest]

Thanks for all the info!  I'll dig into the networking configs tonight - they probably aren't correct I imagine.  And I'll also update all my packages - things just overall seem slow... 

I'll also dig into the DMA issue - that sounds interesting and might be a problem with this old motherboard.

>As for the Mozilla, have you considered using Mozilla Firebird?  Firebird is a slimmed down version of Mozilla, and it runs quite nicely and quickly on my Mandrake box.  Also, try upgrading some of your software to the newest versions.  For example, the load time for OpenOffice 1.1 RC3 is a huge improvement (speed wise and functionally) over what you are seeing with Mandrake's default version.  The same goes for Evolution 1.4 vs. Mandrake's Evolution 1.2.  I hope that helps you out.
