Honestly, I hate sending out this email. I like Redhat a lot. I am a gnome desktop user and Redhat 8.0 is my choice for my personal machine. However, I moved from SuSE 8.0 off a 2.4.18 kernel to Redhat 8.0 on the same machine and it does feel slower. I hate this considering the fact I heard it was faster due to the gcc 3.2 versions of most software. I have played around with the hdparm settings and got them to the point of being an exact dup of what I had before and even tried other options I have seen. I completely understand that this could be caused by a load of different issues. The question is are there are any options I can pass to the kernel or any tweaking options in the powertweak clone that can improve the speed on a Dell Inspiron 4000 with a 800MHZ Celeron? This is NOT a troll. I want some more hints beyond the /etc/sysconfig/harddisks stuff because I have already been there.
