Hi there,
I installed the beta 2 on my IBM Cel466/256M machine, this is bit old but Breezy ran very smooth on it, unfortunately the beta 2 has lot of problem with it. The main problem is the resources utilization, the CPU useage goes sky rocket high all the time, the physical memory almost used up, the 700M swap will all be eaten up in 5hrs. even there is only firefox and thunderbird running without activity, the swap will not release after I close the apps. and the average 1min. load is at 6. The system halts regularly every 5-10min., there is no hard disk activity unless when the swap is seriously out, overall the system is extremely sluggish. I apt-get installed the 686 kernel try to improve this but no luck, it seems that there something to do with the X, coz I got better responds with the shell when others are all freezed,, FYI I am using an ATI PCI display card.
Some questions, how do I tell what version I am running, coz there is some error in the download link, I downloaded the live CD but ends up it is not live only install. And can I upgrade to the release version in later day via apt-get, or I must reinstall everything ?
