Last week I installed Fedora 3.0. It comes with kernel 2.6.9.1, Gnome 2.8 and KDE 3.3. It has more bugs than SuSE and is less easy to use, but, it is very faster! I found a clue that could be the reason for great performance drop in my suse linux. Once, someone suggested me to run "top" to see if a process engages the system resources. I ran it and there wasn't any realtime process with more than %5 cpu usage. Yesterday, I realized that when we open a new page of mozilla by choosing File -> New -> Navigator Window or Ctrl+N, the window opens much faster than pressing its icon on the panel (and a previous session is still open). The difference between these two is that in the second state, an small icon swings under the mouse pointer. I chose different mouse themes from control centre but could never get rid of this animation! Can somebody tell where is its settings? Can it be the origin of too long time of most applications to open?

Of course using ^N will be faster, because you don't start the whole program from beginning. The bouncing cursor may contribute to the longer startup time, but it shouldn't be the main cause.

We have a Fedora client on our SuSE lan with 2.6.10. The Fedora KDE setup is not easy to work out (why can't everyone do it under /opt?) and it takes ages to find config files if you're used to SuSE. But you are right. It is faster then the version that is shipped with 9.2. Also, the nfs shares get mounted faster but that's probably due to the kernel. Can you use yast with fedora? Cheers. Steve.

I also agree that the KDE shipped with Fedora is quicker than the one shipped with SUSE. But it's nowhere near as nice. In fact, KDE on SUSE is preety much the heaviest one that I know of. But I still like it most.
Can you use yast with fedora? I seriously doubt
