In contrast, the other day I installed RHEL4AS (with a 30 day test license) on an old 700Mhz Celeron I have here. It has 768MB of ram and only a single old 9GB scsi drive.
A couple of questions.... Do you do an update from one SuSE release to another? Do you normally keep your /home between releases? (probably) When you installed RH, did you use the same /home? (prolly not) You might be viewing a long-increasing list of things that your /home has in its settings, etc... that make things slow. And you might want to go through the run-level settings to see what is getting started. I've been using SuSE as long as you have but I always do a fresh install and haven't noticed any major change in system speed.
