Did you look at the CPU usage on this machine while it was being slow? Maybe you merely have a process somewhere eating 100% CPU. Is your BIOS the latest and greatest? Are things still slow at runlevel 3? I have to say that my family is using Fedora on several laptops from several manufacturers without trouble. My brother and my parents are also now Fedora users, on an older P3 machine and a Transmeta laptop respectively. Since my experience is different from yours I draw different conclusions, which is that Linux and Fedora in particular is ready enough for "the desktop" of our children and family. Just as I can imagine I would also feel embittered and negative if my only experience had matched yours, I hope you can also imagine that other people are having a LOT of better experiences out there, so your conslusions are not definitive. - -Andy - -- Find your answer without waiting for replies....
