Re: SUSE 10.1 running slow

Interesting. That made me go start that machine up and it seems to be
behaving better this evening. I checked a few times while doing some
reading and always found 2 beagle processes once any showed up. I also ran
Yast/Software Management and did a search on beagle. That shows 6 of 8
packahes installed (not quite the same list those gents mentioned).

Not sure if I will remove them as that was really just meant to be a brief
look at Suse. I am keeping my eye open for a [free] box with lots of drive
bays and a decent MB/CPU/Memory with the intent to put in a bunch of like
drives and load different OS's on each just for checkout purposes. No
multi-booting to maintain, just move the IDE and power cables to the drive
having thr OS I want to check something on. Sounds silly, but again this is
just a hobby.
