Hi to all: I'm evaluating RedHat 8.0 and I have some questions that may be stupid o simple, but I'm only searching for tips, advices or starting points, not wanna waste your time ( ahem... very much ;) ). All questions are refered to performance and resource consumition in an 'enterprise typical desktop machine'. That's hardware configuration that i'm using: Dell Optiplex GX150 Intel Celeron 1Ghz 128 Mb SDRAM System RAM Intel graphics 815 OnBoard ( 3D AGP :? ) AD1885 AC97 ( Emul. Sound Blaster ) 3Com etherlink 10/100 OnBoard Intel 82801BA Chipset ( 815E ) HD 10Gb ( don't ask me model, but I think that's 'modern' Maxtor ) Well, after upgrade from RedHat 7.3, booting to init 5, 90% of memory seems occupied. If I start any 'big' application as Mozilla, swap to disk begins :(. System monitor claims that X server is near to 80 MB, is normal? My resolution is 1280x1024x24bpp. I had added the next hdparm values : -c1 -d1 -W1 -p4 -X69 -u1-m0 ( m16 slows transfer rates in -tT tests ) Not recompiled kernel yet. I'had looking in www for tips about performance, but a lot of them seems to be outdated. I will recompile all src.rpms, any tip obout optimizations flags? ( I'm evaluating different combinations and pretend to use -02 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -malign-functions=4 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 with gcc 3) Any type or advice?
