My trusty laptop which I have been updating since FC4 max's out at 2GB. Once booted, Cinammon logins work just fine as long as one doesn't run any memory pig (like Google Chrome with Adblock active). That pushes things over the edge by a small amount of memory. Closing Chrome gets me back under the magic 2GB boundry and things run at normal speed again. Booting does rattle the disk quite a bit. I assume it is swapping, but I've learned to turn the laptop on before going to the kitchen to make coffee. The laptop is always up and running by the time coffee is done. ;-) Why not try installing F20 and see if it works for you? -wolfgang -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
