Hi,
what are the hardware requirements for KDE 3 to run smoothly? I had a look at http://www.kde.org/info/requirements/3.1.php but it only lists software requirements :(
At the moment I'm using a P3 with 500MHz and 512MB, and it takes some time for KDE applications to start up. Is my system too weak, or can I configure KDE to run faster?
That should be sufficient. IIUC, it should run about as fast as windows on such a setup.
It is possible that your hard disk controller isn't setup correctly in Linux.
As root, run:
hdparm -t -T /dev/<disk>
and see what the "Timing buffered disk reads:" rating is. If it is < 20 MB/sec, then check your setup.
