Sluggish Mandrake 9.2

dave111
I'm just making the final switch from M$ to Linux. Had Mandrake 9. 0 in a dual boot with Windows, just toyed with it for a while and it worked fine, then replaced it with Mandrake 9. 2. Newer version runs MUCH slower than 9.

Belip
I'm completely new to Linux and I'm trying to install SuSe 9. 0 live-eval to my new Dell 8300 (SATA Raid 0). It's a dual boot with XP (Powerquest Bootmagic). Linux istalls or starts and put something on the hard discs but does't boot when I restart (if I choose XP it starts).

Connectiva Linux 10 Beta 1???

raid517
Hi I installed Connectiva Linux 10 Beta 1. It really is shaping up to be a great distibution - with all of the latest bleeding edge applications you can think of. The only problem is that I can't work out how to load modules I need at boot time.
