I agree; I tried to use Mandrake 7x a few years ago on a 233mhz and it took about 10 minutes to load. I ended up just disabling everything and going to command line. Even though windows isn't as stable, it's sure as hell a lot smoother.
I would suggest to the Linux distro people at Mandrake, Red Hat, etc. to cut to the chase and not include as much stuff in the basic install. The default settings for installing Mandrake didn't include neccessities like gcc, but did include a bunch of useless addons when I installed.
