I use Gimp sometimes. But doesn't match my beloved Microsoft Image Composer in terms of the things I need (draggable image size, drag sprites in and out of workspace) Phil – thanks for this.

So try that on Windows and see if you like it. It might even prove to be more usable than your current setup without switching entirely to linux. Alternatively inkscape (also available cross-platform), which you could use to trace your originals and generate cartoons at whatever resolution you prefer. Phil Dave,

XP tends to use a lot memory for tasks you are not interested in adn do not need running.. kick it or shut it down and a lot more mem is there to really use... Would you get any chanc to inform yourself (and us) on the situation of gays adn lesbians in Uganda?

But in terms of file size my diagrams are better than most things. Yes, 1Gb isn't great. I am going to experiment today with a few changes, including more frequent restarting (I do tend to just log off / sleep) and see whether that improves it. David - Thank you. Afraid I'm not really knowledgeable about Linux and don't have a lot of time to learn until we go. Also my image editing programme only works in Windows I think.

I've had a lot of problems with up-country conections away from major towns in Uganda. I think you may be risking it with just 1G of memory, too. I'm not so up on images etc. but document uploading (rather than real-time text/blog connections) can be a real pain with low speed/band-width combined with inflexible memory.
