If there is slowness you might check your amount of swap space and how
many services you run.  If all you did was accept the defaults you could
slow your machine by running too much at run level 5.

Its nice to know you do not need a gamers box to run Suse.  I am using
this PII 350 with only 256mb and its runs better than Win98 on a PIII.
with twice the memory.
