Why is yahoo mail the only service not available to me right now?
I can access all other services with the sole exception of my own mail account.
I don't use Windows. I use, program, build, and rebuild: Linux, plan9, minix3, and FreeBSD. The error is on the server side with the SQL database and the response time.
If I want to increase the speed of my system I would:
Use tinyX instead of X.org,
Use Blackbox as the window manager,
Have a stripped down version of Iceweasel,
Use the command line,
Turn off all services except dhcp, selinux, and ssh
If I was using FreeBSD I would use blackbox as the window manager
a stripped down version of firefox,
no read write to my disk by setting it to level +2.
Minix would not require me to do anything considering it can run a graphical environment with 32M RAM.
Plan9 will do fine with 64M RAM and I would simply create a fo9lder connection to yahoo.
