All, This is a general request to Fedora developers and administrators, Pl work on improving the performance of the OS, We were very disappointed in the core 3 performance, We have core 3 , suse9.1 and redhat es running on 3 seperate machines with same hardware. Core 3 is almost twice as slow as suse9.1 in terms of performance (boot, application startup, java performance, samba etc) ..I am sure there is always some way to tweak performance, but it would be great if it was made available out of the box. And before you guys say piss off, I am stating this for commercial viability of an OS for redhat itself as fedora is seen as the forerunner for things to show up in redhat products. performance is the major selling points of an OS. Small business with 50-100 users form majority of linux users. Recently there was a big discussion to move to windows although all the Network engineering group was against it, we started testing Fedora, suse9.1 and Fedora turned out to be a big disappointment, we are running suse enterprise and suse 9.1 clients now. I hope this rubs the positive side of developers and all who manage this project. regards Sundru ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
