i have installed open suse linux as a second O.S along with windows on another partishion. when i try to use this application it runs incredibly slow. now alloting 40GB for each system, the windows apps run much faster.is it because of being installed beside windows? i have tested the dsl line speed on both O.S’s using speakeasy speed test and they both register closely to one another- so why is the linux so slow?

as you may have noticed during the installation, Yet Another Setup Tool from SuSE asked you quite a few questions;
most had "safe defaults"; alas, even those defaults aren’t always the best BET in town; they are just… safe.
if again, you decided to change some of those defaults, it’s not always easy to get it right the 1st time;
even though it is unnerving and time consuming, you may want to try it a few time, especially paying attention to leave the Internet (security) settings on their own.
there shouldn’t be any interference with M$ LostDOS;
it’s just inert files, place holders of kinds, while you are running Linux.
