Is this normal?
voidmain:
I have a K6-2 450Mhz with onboard video (that shares RAM with the system). It's *very* slow on this system. I think the video card has a lot to do with it, and the amount of RAM you have of course.
heljy:
Well, my experience of it being sluggish is when I shadow windows, move them around, etc. Its like really really breaking up, frame by frame, if you know what I mean. So I guess its really down to the onboard video :(
Well, but it surely looks cool :D
BTW, anyone know how to get that taskbar at the top of the screen to the bottom? Its taking too much of my screen space :(
lazygamer:
Gnome 2 runs much better then Gnome 1.4 did, but I have 433mhz. I felt KDE(haven't tried 3 so im not sure) can't be much better speedwise if they improved Gnome 2 alot. Honestly, Gnome 1.4 was so fucking slow(for me) I wondered why the hell they released this piece of shit?! ;)
Gnome 2 or KDE3? Well Bluecurve on RH8 kinda standardizes these two right?
voidmain:
Yes RH8 did make both have a very similar look. I really liked KDE 3.x on RH7.3 but I believe they screwed KDE over in 8.0. I would stick with Gnome2 in RH8. Or completely blow away the GUIs altogether and get the stock KDE and install. But the Gnome2 configuration in RH8 is very good I believe.
Here's an interesting read on installation comparison between XP, Win2k, RedHat 7.3, and RedHat 8 for n00bs:

Actually that's just the RH8 part (part 3). There are links at the bottom of the page for the other installs. It's obviously a story on a Linux web site but it is very unbiased in my opinion.
