SUSE 9.3 prof VS SUSE 10 any Idea?

[reddragon]

well I am a SUSE linux user & I love it .

SuSE is not renowned for having the speediest release out there. SuSE 9.3 is fabulous - the most functional and solid linux release I have ever used - but it is not fast. Slow is a relative term of course. To put some numbers to it, SuSE boots up from GRUB prompt to KDE desktop in about 1 1/2 minutes on my 1.4 GHz P4 machine.

So please tell me
1. which is the fastest linux ?

and suse 10 .....I mean SUSE Bangalore Version is coming on next month . 2. SO what fields will be upgraded ?3. Do anyone have any comparison chart ? will Novel include some some softwares ?

:roll: I heard SuSE 7.x 8.x versions had more # of CDs than in 9.* ? what were the contents ?

Hmmm..U have to try it for urself which one suits ur system!
Neway FC4 is the best in my opinion boots up from grub menu in 30 seconds!

[vignesh]

Fc4 is a must try.

Yes Suse is tooooo sloww. I have p4 3.0 ghz 1gb ddr sdram @133 mhz. I takes almost 50 secs to boot. Is there a way to optimize it!

PS : Totally OFF Topic: Bye Bye Windozee
Hi! it took me almost 4 days to configure Internet in linux and no way with my internel modem, so i purchased an ext modem and my made my gfx card work. Now i have a dual boot with Suse 9.3 with FC4 on my either hdd. Oops Windoze missed the bus....

i think slackware is a good option if u want speed

[ujjwal]

Speed would really depend on the software you use, rather than the distribution. The most important thing would be the desktop environment/window manager you use. As suse uses KDE by default, its bound to be a bit slow. You can install XFCE, IceWM or fluxbox, to get quite a good increase in speed.

Distributions like Slackware, Vector or Gentoo would perform faster than Suse, but a lot of this speed difference can be achieved by switching to a lighter window manager.

I find Ubuntu faster than Fedora.

Is SuSE 10 available now? I mean the FINAL version and not the BETA one. Has anyone got the CDs?
Actually, a few days ago, I had asked if anyone has got SuSE 9.3 Pro CDs. @navneeth_snr ventured for it but I had exams and so could not send the order. But if SUSE 10 is available I would rather go for SuSE 10??

[reddragon]

well finally I got the comparison........SUSE 10 & 9.3 pro are almost same the latter version is coming with an DVD extension added . It emphasizing on DVD .

anyway ...

I heard SuSE 7.x 8.x versions had more # of CDs than in 9.* ? what were the contents ?

what is the latest versions of slackware ? can anyone help me in Bangalore ...im looking for Slackware .

[naveenchandran]

get it at opensuse.org

[kameyameya]

if u had been using any linux then u might have known that linux displays what all services it starts during booting time


too boot up fast i mean if u want to want ur linux so that it comes to KDE vary fast disable the services u dont require then see the diff

[//siddhartha//]

I have a dial-up and how on earth am I going 2 download SuSE 10 ????? I am talking if anyone has CDs which one can write and send a copy to me..

[reddragon]

//siddhartha// wait sometime .......I will try for u I am also looking

[pradeep_chauhan]

[//siddhartha//]
