Hi: I have a server I upgraded from 7.0 to 8.0. The server is used to serve an application via ssh to Linux clients, and to Windows clients using Cygwin/XFree86.
After upgrading, everything seems to run slower. I have a feeling that using KDE 3 might be the reason. I'm attaching the output of ps ax as a text file. Maybe someone can help and tell me wich processes should be eliminated. Thank you and regards. -- Alfredo J. Cole http://www.acyc.com http://www.clshonduras.com
