Yes, but xosview runs on top of X and tor un X you need X up and to run X you nee the system up and responsive ... that's not lightweight! Whereas 'w', 'uptime', 'iostat', 'pidstat' are all text tools. less demanding
Bear in mind I'm running 64-bit SUSE in 3gig of RAM, could that be some of it?
It could be, but then I'm running with just 4G of DDR2.
Unfortunately, it's a tosh, so when I tried to upgrade it with a 4gig stick (making it 4+2) the new ram promptly caused it to refuse to boot - well, it booted to console in gentoo, but both SUSE and Windows bombed :-(
Maybe a memory size conflict. Try it with JUST the 4G stick.
And seeing as I'd already returned the ram twice, I didn't feel like returning it a 3rd time - so I've got a 4GB DDR3L SODIMM that's probably perfectly okay, just that my tosh doesn't like it (toshes apparently are *extremely* sensitive to what ram they do or don't like).
It might be that it is so sensitive that you have other problems. I suppose someone is going to ask why don't you sell it and get a 'real' computer, so I might as be the one. http://dilbert.com/strip/1995-06-24 -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
