[opensuse] How much memory does Suse need?
How much memory does Suse need? hahahahahahahhah ehem. "Performance of Vista is highly dependent upon how much memory is installed in the PC. For Vista, the minimum is 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM to run the operating system with all of the Aero visual enhancements enabled and have two or three applications open at the same time. Vista can bog down to an intolerably slow pace without enough RAM. Two gigabytes of RAM would be preferable. As you can see, a new PC may be a good idea." see http://www.playfuls.com/news_05364_Windows_Vista_and_Office_2007_Are_Out_to_... -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have an old, really old Toshiba Tecra, Pentium MMX 128 megs of RAM. I had put Damn Small Linux on it (which I must say is an amazing distro if you have old hardware), but kept having issues with the wireless card locking up the system. I tried a different card, same results, so I tried putting on 10.1. Well after a LONG time I got it on there, and although boot up was slow, using fvwm was not too bad. Course I found the same issue of lock ups, so I am guessing a hardware issue on the actual laptop. But it was cool to get openSuse on there.
Kind regards,

I am using a Centrino 1.4Ghz with 512Mb of RAM, and I do not have any reason to complaint about memory. Only Matlab complaints sometimes ;) Hugo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

My two fastest machines are cheap, er... I mean less expensive... HP Slimlines, s7400n 512M 1.6 GHz, running Suse 10 and they fly... and I mean fast... They came factory bloated, er, I mean pre-installed with M$ Xtra Pricy software which I dumped... now installed with Suse 10.0 KDE, the works... now I'm just sitting here wondering how many folks are going to be really excited (the ones who also have s7400n slimlines, or equiv) to find that in order to upgrade to the new Vi$ta they are going to have to shell out some more bucks to obtain (4) four times more memory or be forced to get a new machine?? yikes. Seems like its a no-brainer to have Suse ready to pounce on the opportunity... Here is what I'm concerned about... suppose M$ puts hooks into Suse that force it to "appear" to run just as well as M$ Vi$ta??? That might be called *interoperability*.... I mean, how in the world is M$ going to compete with an OS that runs four times faster on existing hardware for a fraction of the money??? Do any of you see my point???

No it isnt. 9.1 wanted 128meg minimum. Says so right on the bottom of the box. 8.2 was the last version you could get to install in 64meg. (And I can't remember any version that would install in 64k ad you wrote, but I assume you meant meg). Even though the 8.x versions could be installed in 64meg, you couldn't get online update to run in that configuration. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

so I did things that are impossible. What a superman I am :-) Suse is intelligent and ask for much more than the minimum necessary I try to push the distribution in it's limits, as I often work in a LUG with charity computers :-) of course the more is still the better, but to be fair, we must say than this is a comparative between several linux versions and several windows ones. new suse versions used to ask for more power. recent 10.2 seem _not_ to do that. It runs on smaller computer than 10.1 and this mean that any part of your system is better used, this is great. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, my seamonkey didn't "suck in" your whole signature.

The space is still there on all his messages on my system, John. I am sure it is getting stripped by KMail, because it is only in your quoted material that I see only two dashes.

I have Suse 10.0 running on a 600 Mhz Pentium with 256 MB of RAM, using KDE on a 9 GB HDD, and it runs surprisingly fast. It out-performs Suse 10.1 on a Toshiba laptop 2.8 Ghz Pentium with 196 MB of RAM (low, I know) on a 30 GB partition. The Toshiba is deathly slow with 10.1, so much so that I do not use it and am greatly anticipating 10.2. I am sad to say that XP runs very quickly on it. But I will happily add that 10.0 outperforms XP 2 -1 on this 600 Mhz system. - James W. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

you can already install thr RC and update from factory, now it's nearly GM. I'm curious to see if it will run as fast as it seems.

This is because, as I said, the minimum recommended requirement for openSUSE is 256 MB of RAM. openSUSE 10.x is more memory intensive than XP. But much less than Windows Vista. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Memory requirement depends on environment. Without X running, 32M is probably adequate. With X running, how much RAM is adequate depends on which desktop you run and how many apps you keep open at once. So to say any OpenSUSE version is more memory intensive than something else is just hogwash. Everyone who uses XFCE seems to think 128M is plenty, while 128M is barely usable in XP. OTOH, 256M can disappear quickly if you use KDE, while XP seems perfectly happy with it. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace." Colossians 4:6 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

I was not thrilled with Vista so far. It *really* was slower than all Windowsen and a SUSE combined. Well, slightly exaggerated, but that's how beta2 was. (Yeah, a long time has passed, but still. No SUSE Beta version was so much slower than a final.)

I doubt there's a significant difference in real world system requirements between 10.0 and 10.2. 10.0 & 10.2 seem little different to me, while the 8.2 was faster than anything between 8.2 and 10.0.
