Subject: [suse-sparc] Performance on a Sparc 2 machine

    Friends,

    I joined this list a couple of hrs ago - tried getting the FAQ but could not
    find. Hope you don't mind this typical newbie question.

    I just installed SuSE Linux 7.1 into my old SPARC 2 (Sun 4/75) that has 64MB
    Ram. Everything works fine except for the speed - when I run KDE 2 it
    crawls. I tried mwm just to check, it was fine - desktop performance
    (response to mouse clicks, moving Windows, starting apps, pulling down
    menus) was as good as the last os I ran in this machine (Solaris 2.6).

    Is there anything I can do to tune the installation so that I can run KDE 2
    comfortably? Will it be any better if I run Gnome instead?

    Thanks for your help.

    Cheers,

    ~ MUTHU
