Don't actually recall but most times I am running
gnome... its a hog compared to XFCE.  I should go back.. it is much faster,
streaming audio to keep relaxed,
I run a tunnel to the server,
most likely had openoffice running, email, web etc.. I very seldom shut
down tasks I use all the time. I don't like waiting..   But that doesn't
cause any real loads as they sleep. 

Its only a 1.8 ghz single core machine, with 1 gig ram..  But it serves
me very well..   Guess I should look at loading, and would if things
were running slow.. Fred
