Well, I'm want to know if someone knows somes tricks or tips to get a better performance (velocity almost) in debian

Not necessary, tell me the tips, but help me to know where I can star looking for information on this, I'll start a search in google of course, but, if anyone can help me out with some link or something like, maybe a "You should try star looking for this....."


I'm looking for things like deactive the unnecesary ttys which consumes ram without be needed if you aren't using them

So, i'm newbie and like always, i'm here just asking



Thanks for any response

Distro: Debian Sid
Enviroment: KDE 3.5.1
PC: PIV with 512 of ram



Bye....

tty's are spawned from /etc/inittab

Thanks, I did it, now, theres some other thing that I can do? another tip or link where I could find more info?



Thanks

Avoid KDE and Gnome, use window managers, use 'startx', lite apps (aterm xfe xchat xzgv opera etc), avoid icons, background images, and anything that sucks memory resources, read the sticky on Debian post-configuration (which is a compilation of advices from different users in this forum), look for a posting by Gunnix on that thread and check his website.

Thanks macondo, I'll go check it out rigth now

Use CK kernel patches -> http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/ .
Use fluxbox or fvwm!

macondo, I just read the post, very helpfull, so is the Gunnix page

divukman, thanks for the answers, I have to be honest, don't understand very well what this patches will do for my sistems, but, i'm still reading


Also, i think that it will be very good use fluxbox, blacbox, openbox or fvwm, but, first, is not that my system be too slow, runs well indeed, I was just asking if there's tips or tricks for a better performance

Second, i'm honest, i tried fluxbox and blackbox several times but I just got lost jajajajaja


In any case, thanks for the answers, i really appreciate, I hope, that I'll can be helpfull for others like you've been to me



Bye
