Hi All
I have a pentium 90 with 16 mb of ram running Red Hat 6.0. Performance for
anything not requiring x windows is quite good, but anytime I try to run
anything with a gui, the machine just crawls along, and I hear the hard
disk thrashing like crazy. This isn't just bad I'm talking about here, its
completely unusable. Staroffice takes 5+ minutes just to launch. With KDE
performance is slow but acceptable. With GNOME - forget it.
I know that the best answer is to stick a crowbar in my wallet and add
RAM, but are there other parameters that might significantly affect
performance that I could tweak to make performance at least bearable?
I'll probably get flamed for admitting it but Win95 and Office95 run just
fine on this machine.
Thanks In Advance
Pat Bradshaw
