I'm not totally happy with my openSUSE 10.3 performance. It's not too fast (the same was with Ubuntu and Fedora). I think that are two ways: the first it's related to Gnome (probably high to my PC - P4, 512mb ram, 64mb video memory (dedicated), 60gb HD - or a kernel problem.
Could you advice me please?
Thanks
(1) Disable: openSuSE Updater Applet from running at login. (start menu->System->Desktop Applet) (2) Remove Beagle: as root # "rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep beagle) kerry" I have a old PIII-800 w/384M and 10.3 runs just fine on. I also have an old AMD K6-2 450 w/256M that 10.3 runs just fine on as well (used as a hylafax server no gui) Basically 10.3 without a GUI needs about 77meg of ram for the base OS and a few services. With KDE, and a few services, you will need ~190-210meg (including Compiz-Fusion). As others have suggested if you use xfce4 as your desktop, then you will use somewhere between the two. However, if you have openSuSE updater running at logon and Beagle Index running, it will bring your system to its knees for the first 20 minutes of runtime. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
