One more little question (if you don't mind)). 1) How can I see my CPU usage and processes load? I mean something like Task Manager in XP, when you know exactly which process loads your CPU. I've tried SuperKaramba monitors, but only thing I can see out there is the CPU load. 2) Is it normal to see 38% - 40% of CPU usage when I do nothing with my laptop? If this is to high, so I need to turn off some other (useless)processes too? Thanks a lot for your help. P.S. I'm starting to love Fedora more and more considering the simplicity of solving the problems which it has. ^_^ And people which always ready to guide you. -- Best regards,Ivan mailto:bravo.elf@xxxxxxxxx
