The shittyest distro

WMD, yes bloated isn't it?
I run Vector Linux with XFCE on 256MB of ram and the swap partition is very rarely used, you have 512MB and you're only running a few programs and it's using 438.375MB of swap space.

I Run Fedora On My PC Box I Must Admit It Takes A Few Mins To Boot But After Boot It Is Very Fast

--- Quote from: Aloone_Jonez ---Windows XP boots up in about a minute and Redhat takes at least 3. When I drag a Windows around I can actually see the Window being drawn line by line in Fedora - the graphics are faster with a non-accelerated X driver in knoppix.

can i just say something?:
CONFIGURABILITY!
there, i said it. how fast can you *make* windows boot up, and how fast can you *make* fedora boot up. sure, you might think fedora's default configuration sucks the brown goo from satan's scaly ringpiece, but with a linux distribution you can configure it a hell of a lot to work just how you like, in a lot of ways. by contrast windows has a huge wadge of deliberately unintelligible jibberish (known to many as the registry) instead of a human readable /etc directory, and consequently you can't do very much that you want to configure system level things with it.
--- Quote ---The reason you've probably found Redhat fas is because you've got more RAM and Redhat eats RAM.

hmm, fair enough, but then think about this, why doesn't windows eat RAM as efficiently as red hat in circumstances where more RAM is available? and why is it that i have often (in the past admittedly) heard that red hat can be made to run properly on low RAM systems, where windows simply will not run?
--- Quote ---I'm glad that Fedora worked for you but it's never worked for me. Redhat 9 has kernel panicked more times than Windows XP has crashed, and knoppix is faster and uses a lot less memory even though it's run from a CD!

i'm not trying to insult you here, because i think user-friendliness is something that linux distros really lack compared with the expectations of windows users, however if you get past that, and imagine that a user can configure their linux system to their own preferences, you must see that if knoppix works well, fedora should be able to be made to work at least as well, on a specific machine.

well i know fodora core 3 sucks on my amd 64, its been a nitmare just to get it in.
i burned 8 no 1 iso images, the other disc's no problem, its has its own drive, my buddy say's linux is great bla bla fine if your a programer, not for window's users at all, stupid intellent fucks lol
ok i know its in the coverting linux word commands into english , the system cross references too much, than they use comands words to cross reference comand words, still can not install video card drivers. my linux buddy tried following the instructions to no avail. I think they should worry less about trying to out bloat windows, well my drive buggered up and some my buddy puts knoppix in my ram, and ran it from there! Sweet thats a good OS one cd, quick to install , has kde
Yet the fedora fall real short on my first linux experience, but the knoppix keeps my interest
I want to run a server with apache but if its like fodora forget it, yet the other day i spyed with my eye solaris 10 sun mirco systems now that puppy is kick ass. has apache in it, looks very automated , perhaps they should send linux OS there for makeover?:tux:
solemnwarning:
fedora is a very powerful distro, i run my external server on it:
IMAP Mail (Dovecot)
SMTP (Postfix) might go to QMail
HTTP (Apache)
FTP (VsFTPD)
IRC (UnrealIRCD)
MySQL (MySQLD)
this took me less then 6 hours to work out, it was my first server on linux, before i switched all servers to linux they were running winshit 2k3 :scared: "winshit2k3 the way to be insecure" :thumbdwn: lmfao
