Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Okay, I installed 10.1 on another partition on my XP laptop. Besides the fact that I don't know how to get the Intel 2200 wireless working, I plugged in the ethernet cable directly from the router. Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror, and Epiphany all are dog dog dog slow in internet browsing. I tried erasing the eth0 connection and doing it over again but that still doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong, what should I be looking for?
try pinging some of those web sites and see what transit times you get also look at the number of missing packets. I have used all of these Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror on MDK10.1 without a problem.
disable ipv6 in the kernel, you will not have to recompile, there r several posts here on how to do that, you can also disable ipv6 in mozilla (firefox etc...), see if helps... i also posted on the forums here and experienced problems with mandrake 10.1 and network speeds (don't use it anymore).

Could your wireless card be getting in the way??
No, I don't think so. I was connected via the eth0 port using my ethernet cable.

Okay, I'll have to search on how to do that. Not that good with Linux yet. But thanks!

Its possible your system has other ideas.
Check that your packets aren't being routed thru your wireless network, it could be that your system is trying to use the wireless connection first timing out and then going to your eth0 connection. Traceroute might give you an idea of where things are going amiss
Gotcha. I probably won't get to it until tonight. I am going to the hospital to see my wife. She had total hip replacement surgery a few days ago. I'll let you know how I made out with in the land of CLI.
