FC3 and FC4 unbelievably slow at times

diz12 · 07-11-2005, 03:35 AM

I have a had a problem with fedora on this specific computer. I am dual booting with win 2k.
I have a p4 2.8gh processor. Is there something I have done wrong? It will work for a little while and then start freezing for a second or 2 then work fine. If I yum install something it is crazy slow. I have FC4 setup on a different (less powerfull)computer at home and it blazes. Has anyone had this problem before. Thanks

How much ram do you have?
Whats you're memory and cpu usage? is it being used a lot %?

I have 512 ram . I think I might have figured it out though. I went to the bookstore looking for python books and I saw one book about linux solving problems or some sort of topic like that. And I found that there is a program called prolink or something like that. So thanks for replying though. Then I saw some of the commands to get the info and stuff like that . I knew top but didn't think of trying that.
Thanks!

I had the same problem w/ Samba, whenever windoze was running on my other comp FC 4 slowed down considerably. even when not doing anything. DOH

oh I don't know sounds good both ways ctkroeker.
I was reading that book and it said that a guy was having a problem with it slowing down at a certain time everyday and it turned out to be some prolink program . It ran daily to update something? Yeh , when I use yum it slows down. When I copy stuff from cd it slows down too. Right now I still trying to get samba working. What is the command for the gui?
