Hi, I have a m/c with following config Intel Celeron 500MHz 450 MB RAM ATI 3D Rage Pro 1x/2x AGP Microtek 17" Monitor I am running FC2 as downloaded from Fedora site. No kernel updates done yet. The system runs fine except the performance in GUI mode is very very poor. In command line mode and through remote SSH logins performance is relatively much better. I have installed both GNOME and KDE. KDE is the defualt environment and I generaly login as root. It takes long time to launch applications including the Terminal Program. It really sucks while launching firefox or mozilla and even more to launch openoffice and other apps like Java IDE's (eclipse, Netbeans), GNUCash, GNumeric, etc The memory usage is always around 400MB. And I don't think there are may services running in background. ON same machine I have Windows 2000 (dual boot) and it works pretty well. For normal operations memory usage is around just 100-150MB. Can anybody help me to improve the performance. Of course I don't want it to be like a brand new P4 box but at least it should be comparable with what I get with Windows. Any tips tweaks to fine tune FC2 ? Thanks -Kshitij
