Hi, Cheryl.
I think your problem is do to not having enough processor power and ram. For
example My new Linux box is a 2 GHZ Pentium with 512 of ram and Freedombox
is working fantastic on it. I also noticed a dramatic difference with other
Gnome applications. So processor speed and ram really count with x based
stuff.
I believe I saw somewhere on the site you needed at least  400 MHZ to run
it, but that might be for the Windows version and not the Linux version.
