Hi,
I'm currently testing SUSE Linux 10.0 Beta 1 on two machines here. (One Notebook, One Desktop) I really like the way Novell is going with SUSE Linux. But one thing, I always disliked at SUSE Linux is the lack of speed. I also thought about tweaking config-files and so on, to have a faster system. Because of that, I'm highly interested in what your project will come out with, and I also want to offer my help. My programming skills are really bad. (Only read the first chapter in a book about C, little BASIC/PASCAL Skills (I think they won't help ;-)), and medium JavaScript-Skills.) So I can't help you with programming itself, but I know some basic things that are necessary to communicate with programmers. I could help testing, tweak configurations, write documentation and help the community.
Specify "lack of speed". Where?
We worked hard on enhancing boot time speeds for instace. ;)
I understand Matthias very well. I run Suse 9.3 on a Pentium IV 2.0 GHz with 768MB RAM and I also installed it in my sister's Pentium III 866MHz with 256MB. Well, I find my sister's computer to run Suse faster than mine. Yes, I'm not kidding. It can be appreciated, for example, in program start times. I haven't used a chronometer to know exactly the difference, but for example in her computer I click at the Konqueror icon and it just opens; in my computer it takes 4 or 5 seconds to open. And the hard disk makes a strage sound I haven't heard before while it's being accessed BTW, while in other distros and in older versions of Suse it worked perfectly. So I have no idea why it happens, but there's something strange with it. -- Víctor Fernández Martínez Gabinete de prensa de PoLinux [www.polinux.upv.es].
