The point is this: no details in the question and you won't get many in

I suggest you to run the latest stable KDE release 3.5.5 including
some patches from Lubos Lunak that improve KDE startup performance.
Also have a look at [1] if you want to fine tune your your favourite
desktop environment. If you don't use a distro that ships with a
prelinked version of KDE, it is advisable to run prelink yourself.
Have a look at [2] for example.

Regards
Frank

The #1 way is to add more memory; this will make the biggest difference
if sluggishness is associated with the hard disk light being on.

0.5 GB is really the minimum and 1.0 GB is really what you need.

Virtual memory swaps are the main reason that my system runs slow.

You might think that a faster processor was #1 but it isn't. If you
only have 256 MB of memory, a faster processor won't make much
difference if you have several large apps open -- a faster processor
won't access the hard disk much faster.

Secondary things are:

If you don't have 1.0 GB of memory, be careful not to run unnecessary
things. This doesn't help much -- if you have 1.0 GB of memory, you
don't have to worry about such things.

In theory having two fast disks will help. You should have the code and
swap on one disk and *all* data on the other. Unfortunately, *NIX
wasn't designed to work this way. It is sufficient to have the system
and swap on one of the disks with "/home & /var on the other. Some say
that having more than one partition for your swap space will help (about
0.5 GB per partition is what I have read).

It should run pretty well with 256M of ram. If he had 128M then it
would be a big issue. I can start KDE and several apps on mine and it
only use 130 to 140M of ram. However, if he has something running, like
apache or some database program, that uses extra memory and it starts to
use swap space, then he needs more ram. He really should run the "free"
command to see what is being used. He can also run "top" and tell it to
sort by memory usage and see exactly what is using how much memory.
Mine does not use a lot of ram and I have a full blown KDE install. KDE
has gotten better I think. They seem to have cleaned up their code a lot.

Actually, you can put your partitions about any way you want too. I
have mine partitioned this way:

root@smoker / # fdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 81.9 GB, 81964302336 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 158816 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes

root@smoker / #

#1 is /boot, #5 is swap, #6 is /, #7 is /home, #8 is /usr, #9 is
/usr/portage, #10 is /mnt/data. I have a second drive that I backup too
from time to time. As you can see, you can split up your system about
any way you want too. The only thing you shouldn't put on separate
partitions is, /bin, /sbin, /etc, and /root.

Putting swap as close to the inner portion of the drive is the fastest.
I'm not sure having it on separate drives will help much though.

I guess that I run too much stuff since I tend to fill up my 7/16 GByte
of RAM, but I think that I will get a new MotherBoard in a few months
rather than buy more RAM for my old one. IAC, if the disk lite is on
while things are slow, check to see if your RAM is full.

Also "/tmp" should be on the data disk.

I said, in theory so I don't know how much difference this makes on a
modern system. Sun still recommends two hard disks for their desktop
systems last time I checked. What happens when there isn't enough
memory is that ('dirty') data is swapped out while the new application's
code is loaded. So if they are on the same disk, they fight each other,
but on separate disks they can proceed at the same time.

Hi,

Um I am using MandrivaFree2006 with KDE 3.4.2, Menus are not the
original KDE so I cannot find the Control Center :( ,how would I access
it from command-line? Do you know where it's config file is?

Thanks for your patience so far,
Alain
