LXer: Fuduntu Is A Fedora 14 Remix For Netbooks And Laptops
Published at LXer:
Fuduntu is a Fedora 14 remix (remaster) designed especially for Asus Eee (but you can of course use it on other netbooks and any laptop/desktop computer) and comes with some interesting performance tweaks by default. It was created by Fewt, the Jupiter (an hardware and power management applet for netbooks and Laptops) developer. Read More... |
That tutorial to move /tmp, /var/log, and /var/tmp to RAM disks really helps automatically increase performance. Thank you, WebUpd8!

Since when is moving /var/log to a RAM disk a good idea? If you run into a problem that requires some investigation, you're pretty much screwed. Believe it or not, log files serve a purpose beyond taking up disk space.

True. It would help if you did have logs from the last session regarding problems that cause the computer to hang or crash.

Which is one of the major reasons to have log files in the first place. Or what about something like an intrusion/rootkit? Log files can be critical for investigating, and if the user doesn't notice they've been cracked and shuts down or re-boots, all evidence is lost. Personally, I can't think of a single reason why you would want the logs on a RAM disk. If Fuduntu is actually implementing this, it is definitely a distro to stay far, far away from. |

I want to try Fuduntu, I hear it runs great on netbooks. But I have one question; does it run faster than Gosalia? Gosalia has a DNS cache and what is called a fast and easy graphic interface.
