Can someone explain to me why Linux under KDE or Gnome would run so much slower than Windows on the same machine?
An older HP Vectra with a 200 MHz Pent.; 80 meg RAM; two harddrives; integrated video. This machine has had Windows 2000 Server, NT Server 4, Linux 8.2, and currently NT and 8.2 on it. The difference in operation (speed wise) between the two MS systems (not trying to praise MS here) and Linux is like night and day. Linux is excruciatingly slow. From the time I click on an icon to do anything, that can be running Control Center, or any of the installed apps off of the Linux CD until the app is up on screen is several times longer than a comparable app (Explorer or Control Panel, for example) under Windows. Oh yes, previous installs with 8.1, on this machine and 8.1 plus Red Hat on another and much faster machine produced the same comparisons. Ideas? Dan W.
