Very slow performance with RH8.0
I have installed 8.0 on PIII and the system became really slow when running anything on it...Such as I have wait second when I open terminal window..Seems like something slows down the whole system...any Idea..I am very new to RedHat...

Open a terminal and run
top It's a program that shows most processor and memory consuming programs. Please copy the list and paste it to the forum. |
But I suspect the graphic card and driver...Because looks to me there is a lot of CPU idle time and the system is still slow...

It may be nautilus... But it may be a problem with a slow video driver. What card do you have?
|
What is nautilus?
It has an embedded VDA...the box is HP Vectra VE PIII...not sure what comes with this model... |
Here is the TOP output...X eatsto much CPU...

Nautilus is a nice looking file manager. The only problem is that it requires much RAM..
|
you are definetely missing some more RAM, with 64Megs RH8 will be butt slow
|
In other words, what is swap doing?
swapon -s Or monitor swap usage with top or better yet (faster update, graphical view), xosview, which is available as source: http://xosview.sourceforge.net/ or RPM ftp://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/re...8.0-8.i386.rpm |
That was definetly RAM....I realized that very late...and increased it to 256M..and now it is eating all the memory but much much faster.....very reasonable speed....
