I am willing to try this if somebody gives me good reason to. I am considering running my server box in run level 3 if and only if I will get better responses from the box via ftp, http, and ssh. Currently it is running ok, but it tends to be slow when I am running several things at once like email or a browser. I currently am using an old compaq presario, P-II 300, 128mb RAM, and I am using 98% of it. I Also have about 500mb of swap avail.. What I would like to know is if I run at init 3 will not having x running speed things up? If so where do I make the change as I know I can do it in term via $init 3 Currently I am in 3 however my backgroung is graphical like I was in failsafe. This is most annoying as I can not use most of my screen!
