Anybody else have the problem that hitting the back button while reading/. takes you to the top of the previous page instead of scrolling down to the section where you left off?
Actually, I think it's just trying to get your host name. Try the command 'hostname -a'. If it hangs for 30 seconds or so before finally timing out then KDE will be pathologically slow starting up. Last I checked xemacs behaved the same way.
I think if you have a proper entry in your/etc/hosts file then a DNS lookup is not needed to resolve the full host name and KDE starts normally.
The relevant number is -/+ buffers/cache when you use "free". Basically, Linux considers unused memory to be wasted memory so it maintains old pages in a cache rather than immediately discarding them in case they might be needed again.
On my KDE2.2 box only ~63MB is used after subtracting buffers + cache --- and that's with Mozilla running.
FireGL2 is not a "lesser" card. In the dozens of SPECview tests I've run on every imaginable AGP chipset, it totally kicks Gloria III and Gloria DCC's ass. The Linux drivers are a *lot* more stable, too. For pure OpenGL performance and quality I just don't think anything from NVidia compares. Wildcat 5110 is another matter altogher. Too bad they won't release a Linux driver, though I see Xi Graphics is trying to fill the gap.
Bull f**king shit. FireGL2 annihilates any GeForce/Quaddro based card out there when it comes to SPECview (nearly a factor of 1.5 better on AWADVS e.g.). I know because until this month I worked for a company that sells pc based 3D workstations to several major studios.
Moreover, FireGL's drivers won't lock up your dual AMD 760 box under Linux like Nvidia will.

Hmmm... I have exactly that printer and have had no problems printing postscript, color, etc. from RH 6.1 thru 7.2.
