Yep, I still have more questions. Ugh. But, things are shapping up at
least.
1. Netscape Messenger takes a /very/ long time to load. Navigator loads
pretty quickly but then it takes Messenger a good 6 minutes to load. I
had version 4.5 so I figured it might be a bug so I downgraded to 4.07
but to no avail. Everything works fine (i'm using messenger right now),
it just takes a long time to load. Any ideas what this could be? I'm
thinking I might not have enough RAM...which leads to my second problem:
2. I have 32 megs of RAM, but when I call free, it says that I have 30.
Where'd my last two go??? Actually, why don't I just show you:
total used free shared
buffers cached
Mem: 30264 29080 1184 17572 172
12296
-/+ buffers/cache: 16612 13652
Swap: 64256 12952 51304
Also, should the system be taking up so much? Right after I reboot, it's
already taking up almost all of the real RAM. I'm going to upgrade
anyway, but I was wondering if this was normal?
3. Where are the startup configuration files? As in where does linux
store the list of daemons that it has to start up, and can I add my own
without too much danger?
4. Finally, how do I change the default resolution X windows starts up
at? Right now it starts up at 1280x1024. It could be much worse, I
guess, I could be starting at a resolution of 2 or something. But
1280x1024 on a 15 inch monitor is sorta high. I can switch it once I
start up but then I have to reconfigure my monitor and the virtual
desktop is still at 1280x1024.
That's all...for now...I'm sure there will be more. TIA.
