Hehehe... I was wondering if someone would catch me on that. I was too lazy to edit after reading it... Of course I meant there are no out-of-normal processes (such as the ones that are there when I boot Windows) I'm not sure what's wrong with it though... it's like, I can open 500 pictures (closing them right after), and eventually I can no longer do anything until other programs/pictures/etc are closed, as if to free up RAM or something. I dunno, I was considering switching to Debian linux real soon, or trying it out at least... just curious if this was a windows-based problem thx all!
