admit i am dissapointed on red hat's performance. Installtion was
easy
and went well, but using this OS is not effective.. Booting takes
minutes to login screen, and starting from there to desktop takes
minutes again. Applications start ages (even light and small ones)
and
the whole machine is like frozen.
I know the laptop isn't a real powerhouse (800 pIII, 128 MB ram)
but
still I expected a bit more after so much talk how linuxes ase
these
days. This laptop workes fine with Win2000 and WinXP...
And I didn't install all the packages, only the
"laptop-installation"
the wizard suggested, with few additional packages and KDE. I have
500MB
swap... Is gnome perhaps lighter than KDE.
Does anyone have any idead how to speed-up this machine or hints
how to
improve performance.
I am probably a bit biased but I was amazed how slow kde3 was - yes
gnome is considerably quicker (this is on a K6/2 500 128MB)
Even better get gnome2 snapshots - woooh.
