1) In general the system seems slugish. It's new laptop with Centrino Duo processor and 4 gig of RAM. I'm running SMP kernal: 2.6.22.17-0.1-bigsmp When I do a top it only shows 1 CPU (maybe that's correct). If I look at gnome system monitor it shows two processors. I'm only using 21% of the RAM right now and no swap. The system fan seems to be running constantly.
I can't help with your other problems, sorry. Try typing a "1" (numeral one) in while running top to see broken-out results for the two cores, or install htop (available in the main repository) for a nicer text-mode display of the same stuff which defaults to showing both cores. Isn't that a 64 bit processor? Have you tried the default 64 bit kernel? I think you'll like openSUSE. -- N. B.
