I had a problem with my old suse install where it took weeks to boot up and do anything graphical. The fix was to recompile the kernel minus the bits I didn't need. I am currently runnning a AMD K6 200 with 32mb RAM and KDE runs fine. I have had every thing removed from the kernel bar what is needed to boot up and the rest is put in as modules, makes a lot of difference to the speed.

aaww ;)..well, just for the record, I have a P200 with 64Meg and kde2 runs smoothly moral of the story, you don;t need a fast processor, just (a little) more memory...

More memory, more memory... hrm... this sounds like what I was trying to get away from by using Linux ;-)
