Optimizing Linux Desktop
Bringnig Linux more closer to desktops
i am aiming to port linux to the Machines at my college many of them do not have a good configuration like P3 processor with 128 MB ram they want Kde internet access/tools Development environment i have got some optimizations http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8308 http://members.cox.net/laitcg/slack1.html http://www.brunolinux.com/ what else optimzations for Linux desktop would u like to share i have compiled a custom kernel for that also regards |
Well if you could do without KDE you'd free a lot of resourses. I'm likely running an identical computer (it's been used in a lot of schools and governent buildings, Dell Optiplex GX110 P3 886MHz, 128mb RAM) and I know that with KDE things run a lot slower then with IceWM, XFCE, FluxBox, and etc. All of these take a bit of extra work if you want to have some pretty common features, though... but you should give them a try.
If you must stick with KDE, get rid of all the effects, get rid of desktop and panel backgrounds, and turn off the KDE sound Daemon. You should notice a difference. :) |
thanks for ur tip
i will surely see that but without kde it will be like i am not giving them the full desktop for machines with less that 128 MB Ram ,i will try Icewm regards |
hmmmm, I found out that when i install development tools like (devel) packages my machine slowed down considerebly. I guess it's equivalent of loading explorer dll files in windows when ur not using explorer. 128mb simply is not enough, but u can get a nice boost if u remove the the devel packages or install them on machines with more ram.

devel packages?
well i do not have then but ill surely look again into that if i have some. regards |
