 Re: Mepis a little slowThank you all for responses.
Yesterday i was trying some several things. When i boot and start Mepis, it works so fluid and nice, even when i try to maximizing/minimizing or moving windows. But after a while, the system starts to go a little loaded. I have the desktop effects disabled. I will try the command 'top'. If i do not find any 'big' process, i will try to install the sgfxi script Some other cuestion. I have a widget on the desktop of CPU monitor. ¿It is normal that, when i enter the desktop, is set at 80%? :S It can be Firefox? I know that in Windows he consumes too many resources. ¿Any lighter alternative to KDE? I dont like Konqueror neither. ¿Maybe Rekong? Edit: if it helps, im using Mepis 11, 64 bits version  Thanks! |

Re: Mepis a little slow
Clearly some process is bogging down the system. Top will definitely help you determine which one. Google Chrome is a good alternative to Firefox. It is DE agnostic so is not KDE dependent. http://www.google.com/chrome _________________ Forum Rules Guide - How to Ask for Help Link to Wiki Rich Acer Laptop 5750G: Intel i5, 4 GIG mem, nVidia GT540M/Intel integrated graphics Kubuntu 13.04, KDE 4.10.2 M12 Alpha 2 in VirtualBox |

Re: Mepis a little slow I think System Monitor comes with Mepis. It's a GUI and it enables some switches that can help clarify what it is that you're seeing.
I love Opera quite a bit more than Chrome. But both are very useful. Try both. I keep and use more than one Browser regularly. _________________ "There is no "slippery slope" toward loss of liberties, only a long staircase where each step downward must first be tolerated by the American people and their leaders."
