Dear all,
This is my first post to this list, but I have been subscribed for a
good 3+ months.
It has sorted out many problems I have encountered as well, so I thank
you all.
I am regular-ish as I can be member of man-lug, work allowing as I work
shifts.
Anyhow I was running Breezy and I has Super Karamba installed. I had the
sysmon theme running and it picked up that my RAM was disappearing at an
insane rate without hardly anything running.
I had e-mailed the man-lug list and people had responded but it didnot
seem to solve the problem.
I thus elected to start again and downloaded Dapper and did a fresh
install. I have to admit I am impressed with Dapper, it looks cleaner
and seems to load faster, but a bit buggy.
I have installed Firefox, Thunderbird both from mozilla.org and Flock.
Even as I type this e-mail I am getting warning that Kicker and
Thunderbird-bin are slowing my machine down. When I had Flock running I
was getting messages that Flock-bin was slowing my machine down. The
messages are pretty much constant, is it something I have done wrong....
Any suggestions highly appreciated, please see output of processes
currently running, I'm not normally one for pasting massive outputs.
