The people that replied are correct about the ordering of events in the
kernels, but I don't think that's your issue.  Judging by what you are
saying, you're probably running GNOME 1.4.  In GNOME 1.4 there is
Nautilus 1.0, which is dog slow.  I'd recommend upgrading to GNOME 2.0,
probably most easily done by upgrading to RedHat 8.0, and that should
'fix' the Nautilus issues.

I'm guessing (not that you explicitly stated it though) that you are
also concerned with how fast office applications load.  The reason that
this is faster in XP is that the OS continually keeps office loaded.=20
There is a GNOME applet that will do this for StarOffice in Linux if
you'd like.  It's really nice if you do a lot of office stuff, and you
have the RAM.

		Have fun,
