optimizing my debian
Hello all,
I have a PowerPC, 64 RAM, with woody updated. Icewm as Window Manager.
The trouble is: it's so slow, sooo sloooow. It takes 5 seconds to open a
terminal, and so on. XFCE was not bearable. Not to saw about Gnome or
KDE.
The MacOS 9.2 on the same computer is an arrow, compared to it!
Did I forgot to remove some useless processes?
Here are a few configuration infos. Thanks in advance.
