How P IV system work fast with Red Hat Linux 8, I recompile the kernel also.
 

My system with P IV and 256 ram is fastest for my all type of os like win 98 to win 2003. But when come to the matter of Linux it is to much slow.

I feel as if iam working with 386 mach. I also recompile the kernel and checked for the difference but i did no dif.

Is that the problem with the distribution (Red Hat Linux) or with my mach.

Please give me the sugestion fo the same.

Thanks

do you have any un-needed services running in R/H ........

type top and look is there is something with wrong (cpu ram etc. usage)? also check logs. /var/log/messages and other services logs if any of them works.
