Hildreth <shildreth@allantgroup.com> > Hi, I am using Dell Inspiron 700m laptop (http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/entnb_700m?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn) Intel Pentium-M Dothan 2.00 GHz 512 MB RAM Intel i810 video 80GB harddisk I have both FreeBSD 6.0/GNOME 2.12 and Windows XP on the same machine. Should say that Windows works way faster. On FreeBSD the heavy things are: Evolution (very heavy, especially with spamd) GNOME start menu (it is being "calculated" from .desktop-files, thank god just once) Nautilus (although I have all the previews switched off) Firefox works tolerably (I would say a bit slower than IE in WinXP).
