So you did try Vector, huh?  How's it compare to RH9? (speed, ram)

Its a lot faster than RedHat, even without an accelerated graphic driver and all the eye candy turned on its still faster than both Redhat and Windows.

I don't know about memory though, KDE had an easy to use GUI to deturmine the memory useage.

How do I find out how much physical memory Vector Linux is using?

Out of my 256MB (take 32MB used up my my on board graphics card) so that's 224MB, RedHat used used over 60% of my physical memory. 30% for disk buffers, (this would depend on the programs I was running) and the other 30% for it's code, the rest was swaped to disk.

I sure Vector uses far less as it will run on 32MB.

flap:
If you're not using KDE, that's probably why it's faster.

In a console, run top or procinfo.

KernelPanic:
The command free is more to the point.

I just noticed it runs OpenGL and WineX faster than any other disrto I use(might change if you add to much packages).
It's a good distro for gamers.
