is redhat linux slow

sakeeb · 06-01-2002, 07:40 AM

I have read a post (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=22313) saying that redhat is slow. is redhat really slow ?

i am not familiar with any other distribution other than redhat. that is why i ask this question. Somebody familiar with more distributions can answer this.

Every distro can be fast, every distro can be slow. It depends on how it is configured.

Redhat is just as fast/slow as any other distro with the same kernel and the same settings/programs. The distro is a blanket, not the soul.

gui is slow, but I think it's in all distros

Hi,
Unfortunatelly your question can't be answer with a simple yes or no. There are a lot of other elements that need to be taken into consideration before something like this can be answer such as, how slow/fast is the machine where RedHat is running?

Not mine

And that is even with my 400mhz Celeron 128 MB RAM. But Of course I don't use KDE or GNOME either. But those don't ever seem to be too slow, but much slower than lets say, Enlightenment or any other small desktop environment I might be using at any given time.

The only stupid question is the one not asked...
