Any Ideas?

Hey,
I finally figured it out. I was playing around with different setups and removed the KDE window manager. Instantly my system is running like a dream. All the above problems are gone. Further Galeon no longer has problems with .org websites. I am using the Gnome and Galeon right now and it is screaming. Once loaded Gnome is actually faster than W98. Of course boot up and log in are still not to quick.
Something in the KDE was slowing down everything. Maybe it was that stupid KDE version of GDM I don't know.
Oh BTW the KDE games still work great.
So if anyone else is having any of these problems under Mandrake 8.1 I highly recommend removing the KDE.

If you're feeling adventurous, give LibraNet 2.0 a try. It uses Rieser FS as default, so it boots a hell of a lot faster. KDE is a rocket, but if you want serious speed, use XFCE3 with Galeon, it just blows IE 5.5 away! It comes with an absolute SHITHOUSE of games, and it auto-config's your CD burner at install. I LOVE IT!!

I had the same problem with an optical mouse a while back... if i touched the side of the screen it would stick to it... i could move it away but it would scream right back. Make sure you dont have anything touching the pad on startup... (kinda like with an n64 - it orients itself on startup, and if you hold the analog to the side it recognizes that as the center.) That might help if you haven't figured it out yet.

If I had a fast internet connection I would check it out. I am thinking about ordering a few other versions from LinuxCentral or Cheapbytes Maybe I will add Libranet to the list.
I don't know if it is KDE, Mandrake or my hardware but for me KDE is more like a very heavy rock than a rocket.
XFCE is awesome. I love the way it runs.

i use KDE 2.2.2 on suse 7.3 and have no difference with any browsers between that and Win2k.... didnt have any problems with 2.2.1 which is suse 7.3s installed version.
