No, fix Evolution. The Pentium III is heaps for most people, even for me if I don't get carried away with a dozen desktops each with half-a-dozen windows. a dozen or so mozzes with a couple of dozen tabs etc. Back to Dan's question: For me, kmail periodically dies with sigfpe or sigsegv. Evolution consumes 100% CU for extended periods, but seems to be settling down. It ran at 100% for days before I reported that bug. The whole system froze up a while ago. I'm using it somewhat headless; 'X -query ...' from another machine. It quit responding while I was searching a DVD; I got tired of waiting for it and went on with another task. Eventually my X session crashed and came to my notice, and I discovered the system wqs unresponsive to all stimuli short ot the BRS. Oh, I found a cute way to make mkisofs segv. That might have been on Nahant though, Oh, it was. -- Cheers John Summerfield tourist pics: http://environmental.disaster.cds.merseine.nu/
