Konqueror

If Konqueror happens to be pretty slow (compared to firefox or whatever), someone should do one of this (or both together):

• export KDE_NO_IPV6=true _before_ kde is loaded (in any startup-script)


• Change the dns-server in /etc/resolv.conf to a public one

Archlinux

Recently I changed my Distribution, back to Archlinux. Shortly: I am surprised about the speed and the quality of the distribution. A year ago everything was a little messed (espacially the ATI-driver).

To install the original Ati-Drivers, you need:

• pacman -S ati-fglrx ati-fglrx-utils


• modprobe fglrx or change your rc.conf to load fglrx at bootup


• create new xorg.conf or use your old one and run aticonfig (very useful program with many options regarding your ati-card)


• and change manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Uncomment the lines regarding "dri 0666" - Background: Normal users are not allowed to touch the acceleration of the graphic card

Sorry, ubuntu, you've had your chance, but arch is faster, updated regularly and everything is working now...
