Hi all, I have been using Linux for a while (slackware 3.0, then skipped around btwn RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake, Debian,SuSE, RedHat, you get the idea), but still am not a 'guru' or even an expert 'user' by any means. I'm on the brink of pre-ordering SuSE 7.3 for use on my home LAN, but I have a couple concerns I was hoping y'all on the list could address. I've browsed the newsgroup and the suse-linux-e list archives, and noticed a lot of grumbling about the speed, or lack of, of yast2. I take it that yast2 overall has gotten a lot better, because around 7.0 or so, speed was the least of my concerns w/ it. If I were to stick SuSE 7.3 on a modest machine (Panasonic P2-300 laptop w/ 64MB RAM w/ dead display) for use as a network file/print server, will I be able to reasonably use yast2 over an ssh connection? The reason I ask is that I have read complaints about it's speed on a P3-800 w/ buku ram, which has me worried!! My other concern is how much horsepower do I need to run it on a desktop? Right now my dedicated 'test' box that I don't have to share w/ the rest of the family is a Celeron 266 w/ 64MB RAM, onboard sound, onboard video (8MB ATI Rage), 3.2GB HD, etc. Supported, functionally, but would bumping up my RAM to 128 or even 256 make the system 'useable'? Right now, with this system, running RH 7.1 and XFCE 3.8.8, even Opera can cause it to really thrash for a while (I tend to have 5-10 windows open inside Opera at a time), and KDE2 was just horrid :( Thanks in advance, Monte __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
