... the two boxes at about 120k/sec (ftp) and 300k+/sec thru This is extremely slow. ftp should be full bandwidth as it's UDP. on a 10BT net (I assume), that would be about 1.0MB/s. I do have a rh6.2/win98 dual boot sys and in win98 the transfer rate is much better. Also this may have something to do with it.

Which ver of RH on Pentium 166 MHz/64 MB RAM?
Especially disk I/O sucks in MkLinux (extremely slow, I can read data from the hard disk at quad speed CD ROM rates). I'm using MkLinux right now, mainly because their dual boot approach suits me better for what I'm doing. With Linux-pmac you do get a nice picture of the penguin, though.

However, Windows XP, when browsing in any share, takes an extremely long time to open each folder... It's not the computer, because it's a dual boot between Win2k & XP Pro.

This process can be extremely slow, especially on NetWare. Simply adding a key in the right spot can increase the query compile time by many times.
