I have an old Pentium 75 with 1gig HD and 24M RAM running RedHat 5.2. I used to run fvwm95 as my windows manager but I wanted to try the KDE development tools so I loaded KDE instead. However, it is incredibly slooow. For example, it takes about 2.5 minutes to load from typing startx and you can see each individual icon get drawn in the file manager.
At first I thought it was a memory thing as I appeared to be using about 8M of swap space so I upgraded to 80M of RAM but it made no difference at all.
Ant suggestions?/
