You have 45 mb real memory, and 97 mb of swap in use. More swap than real memory --> thus slow system. Actually (I lined up the amounts better) 45 MB mem, 26 Mb swap. Still not enough to run with KDE at least not efficiently.
Oops! I was to fast, you are right. Yes, the above must be before he really started, I think. I remember higher numbers on my old system, like a hundred Mb or more for my 32Mb Ram! gnome would be a bit better, but I would use fwmn or similar. Kde is nearly unusable with that memory. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
