If you want Linux to run fast, then you have to tune it for
your system and get rid of all the irrelevant rubbish. Of
course, this requires knowledge and experience.
You can't blame Red Hat and SuSE for including every possible
module in their generic install. Obviously, they need to
accommodate as many different hardware options as possible.
However, it's quite different for a newbie who buys his
computer with Linux pre-installed. In this case Linux will
already have been tuned for his hardware. So it should run
fast, right out of the box.
