Yes even starting a shell is fucking slow in KDE. Takes 5 seconds
here at a dual P3-800.

But the good thing is that it also starts it within 5 seconds
when many applications are running :)

Redhat 7.2 is definitely a step forward for KDE. KDE3 is not so
bad either. They're progressing.

Too bad that so many things are still incompatible. For example
default linux kernel with Redhat has no NTFS file support.
