But rather than trashing the distro and trying another one on the first problem, you'll be much better off (in terms of time) to choose a distro with a good community, and ask on forums or mailing lists advice for the specific problems you encounter. I know it does seem overwhelming when you've got many things to track down but you can make a list, and one by one solve the problems (and by so doing learn how all the system/apps work) - I just think you'll be up faster than if you just "try" another distro. For the distro to choose, personally I wouldn't know... I use Archlinux but that probably requires a bit too much setup for your purposes... I'd probably suggest an ubuntu-derivative, only because that's what most people use and it will probably be easier to find help for your problems. Ah, also, I guess KXstudio uses KDE? If that's the case, I'm not surprised to hear it's slow, as it's *the* most bloated DE... Personally all I use is openbox,pcmanfm, tint2 and conky - I have all the essential GUI features and it's way faster than any DE. cheers renato
