Linux slow down Problem

Hello. I'm using Linux-Mandrake v7.2

My computer is Pentium III 600MHz, and Ceative Labs TNT Riva 32MB. Anyways... This is my question.

I made a move from Redhat 7.0 to Mandrake. I've never had a slowing down problem with Redhat, but when I'm using Mandrake, the System seems REALLY slow. It's on it native linux partition, and I thought everything would be fine. But there's a lag constantly in my system. It feels like there's some program running in the background that I don't know about. Can anyone help?

I forgot to mention. I'm running on 384MB of memory 2.5GB on linux, about 500mb free. 128MB Swap size... etc...
 
Type "top" and that will show you the processors that are currently using the most processor. also type "ps aux" and that will show you all processes running
 
Yeah, RUN doesn't work for terminal-based apps (unless there's a run in terminal checkbox, which I don't remember being there). You need to launch xterm/konsole/whatever you want, or I think there is a KDE GUI version of top called Ktop. Check at freshmeat.
