So...I've been finding the rawhide experience to be a little more raw than usual since about when FC6 came out. I've not seen a lot of complaints, though, which leads me to wonder if I'm the only one. Here's some of what I've encountered on my x86-64 system: - The system thrashes. I guess I'm an old-fashioned sort of guy, but I really think that 1GB ought to be enough to run a basic desktop, even on a 64-bit system. Firefox, Thunderbird, and Liferea are all leaky as sieves; I have to restart them occasionally or the system just bogs down. There is a memory-leak in gnome-terminal that I can't get the developers to even look for. Tomboy is huge, but that may just be part of life with mono. - Gnome-terminal occasionally becomes unresponsive. Some windows work, others do not - though they usually come back eventually. This behavior seems to be correlated with the memory problems, but the system is not thrashing while I'm waiting for a terminal to acknowledge my existence. - Gnucash now refuses to start. I get a lot of messages like "Failed to dlopen() '/usr/lib64/gnucash/libgncmod-hbci.la': file not found". The interesting thing being that the indicated files *do* exist. - Metacity occasionally gets hung. It happens most often when trying to resize a window, but I can also occasionally see it when using menus from the panel at the bottom of the screen. The pointer goes into an "I'm busy" state, and nobody gets any more keyboard or mouse events. Switching out of X and back (alt-ctrl-F1) makes the hang go away. - I still have to clear out /var/lib/rpm/__db* fairly often. Now I'm not complaining. I know the drill, and I'm sufficiently masochistic (and backed up) to run rawhide on a system I use for real work. But I begin to wonder if there might be something that has gone fundamentally wrong on my system, or if this is just the way rawhide works these days...?
