Hi there, I'm fairly new to Linux have two hopefully quick questions for Redhat8: 1. I've noticed the GUI in Linux is terribly slow compared to Windows, and my system doesn't seem to multitask in the GUI very well at all. For example, I can click on things and it takes quite a while before they open. The system even becomes unusable at times such as when I'm installing software from a CD and try to multitask - the CPU is at 100% and everything slows to a crawl. I've already updated the video driver through Nvidia (seems to work fine the Nvidia logo pops up on startup), and I can play games quite fast like Unreal Tournament 2003 at 80-120 FPS. But its the desktop GUI that is slow... I'm using Gnome/Ximian2. Is this just normal or is there something I can do to speed up the GUI in Linux? 2. Need some help setting up a simple DNS server using Bind/Named. I've tried to setup basic DNS service for a two computer network just for testing. I want to run testdomain.com on the redhat machine (192.168.0.1), and have a client XP machine (192.168.0.2) be able to use the DNS of the redhat machine and ping testdomain.com and have it resolve to the Redhat machine (192.168.0.1). I can't find instructions for this anywhere or even sample configuration files such as /etc/named.conf and /var/named/testdomain.com - if anyone has instructions or sample files for these it would be appreciated! Thanks in advance for your time! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
