Re: [ilugd] Fastest Desktop Linux
Hello, First of all thanks a lot for relying, were you present at the recently held freedel event? No I wasn't. Very nice of you , why dont you share about your experiences at the next meet. I would love to, but i haven't attended any meet before so not sure about it. |We are doing just fine, using FC4, but its very very slow. We are on P4 2.8GHZ with 256mb RAM, still it gets hung a number of times in a day. i presume you are using more than one PC ,does all the PC's show such behaviour. What do you mean by Hung, whats the error messages you get on the monitor , is there any specific event which make this said hung behaviour happen. By Hung means, very very slow. I am generally working on 3-4 applications simulatenously including Evolution, FireFox, BlueFish, Gaim and some other small softwares, which i think is retty normal. It works fine for the 60% of the day, but some times it goes real slow, specially while fetching emails via evolution. Another thing is that, i uses xampp on my local system and when 2 or more users access it simultaneously, the conditions gets worse :( if you mean fast by boot http://www.improvedsource.com/view.php/Linux-System/2/ Thanks for it, Which Linux distro u r on? -- Kind Regards, Nitin Gupta CEO Xaprio Solutions http://www.xaprio.com/ http://www.xaprio.com/forums/ http://www.roadrashers.com/ __ Yahoo!

Identify the problem before trying to solve it. And switching distributions is, in general, not going to help you with anything at all. Use top and vmstat to figure out why the machine is slow (as suggested in another message). I suspect, since you have only 256MB of RAM, that you're being driven into swap too often as you switch between programs.
