So,
new job and a shiny new HP Duo Core computer with 2G RAM and twin 250G
ATA drives, loaded with Windows XP of course. The 1st thing I do is to
load FC6 on the 2nd of the disks. After 2 days (!) I have everything
loaded and updated but the system is running really, and I mean REALLY
slow. It takes about 15 mins to boot up and 5 to log in. Both processors
are heavily loaded but yet top shows nothing out of the ordinary, memory
usage is abot 15%.
Bad news: I have a HP DC7700. It is unusable with FC6. Don't even bother.
Good news: It is OK with FC7T3 (certain kernel arguments are required in
grub.conf, something about "noapci", I forget the exact details right now).
The newer kernel on FC7T3 has much better support for the onboard devices.
My only problem at the moment is that the system clock loses time even
though the nptd server is running.
