fc2 versus SUSE 8.0
 

Well I wanted to update to a newer version, so I also updated to FC2. I miss my SUSE 8.0 GRAPHICAL RPM interface. Yes I can still extract/intall from an RPM but now I must go to the TERMINAL SHELL and type RPM -iv [filespec] It took me a few days to figure that out.

My bible program "the Sword" won't run at all under FC2 either. The main reason for the upgrade to FC2 was that I wanted to run WindowsMedia BUT VIDEOLAN is still missing some DEPENDENCIES.

My main beef about FC2 is that it runs 2X slower than SUSE 8.0 on my 400mhz AMD machine AND THE HARD DRIVE SEEMS TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY !

FC2 system requirements
 

You should check te system requirements of FC2. I believe it needs at least 256MB ram, the most likely reason your hard drive is used so much is because you lack physical RAM memory
