Well, I've noticed that slow down in spead myself. One way to help spead things up is to use the ext3 fs which works much better than ext2. One major difference between 6.2 and 7.2 is that 7.2 comes with the kudzu pnp hardware maniger. Kudzu tracks new and removed hardware, and attempts to configure it for you. A second change is the X-Windows server ois much newer, but on my 1.2 GHZ box the little drop in spead is worth getting all the new tools. At least for me. ----- Original Message ----- From: Amanda Lee <amanda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Speakup at Braille.Uwo.Ca <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 9:18 PM Subject: RH 6.2 Versus RH 7.2 > > Hmmm I know that it is likely that RH 6.2 with Speakup enabled does not have > the most current version of Speakup patched into the Kernel but here's an > interesting comment from a friend whose judgement I respect a good deal. > > So to the other experts herein, please share your thoughts. > > He prefers RH 6.2 for the following reason: > RH 7.2 seems to be significantly slower, with lots more disk thrashing, and > it's > not just X Windows (although it's also significantly slower). > > So my question is...
