I've finally got the net working with Freeserve anytime on my P2 266 with RH8.
However now its incredibly slow. It must be twice as slow as Win98 at least. It seems to be the pictures that load the slowest, as the html comes up fine, but i'm left starting at the icons for a good few seconds before they appear.
File downloads seem to be OK, with speeds upto and over 5kbps.
Are there any tips people could reccomend? A different browser? Or is my PC just too slow for this?? Do I need an earlier distro?
