You're running FC3 on that?  Christ almighty!  A similar machine at my school with FC1 is already dog slow... I can't imagine 3.  Find some RAM or a faster Linux distribution!

Right, I'll just assume that you type with your dick and that you meant "specs."

933 MHz AMD Duron
14" monitor
256 MB of RAM
20 GB hard drive

Nothing interesting. It's a laptop.

Fedorka can actually use around 64MB RAM even without X running.  Don't know how RedShat does it, but they do.

Oh, wait.  Am I making fun of Red Hat again?  :D

No offence, but you are obviously setting the server up badly.
I admit that RH/Fedora run a lot of services out of the box, but as an admin it's your job to turn the relevant things on/off. Most distributions these days are running the wrong side of 'lean' but if you want them to make inroads against windows they kinda have to make those concessions.

Topic: Post your sepcs

i am so pedantic, it took *all* my effort to not try to make a joke about the word 'sepcs'. anyway...

harvey:
P3 700mhz
a sound card i got for GBP5
a mini-ATX fan held in with string
15.1 gig HDD
48x cd burner, 8x DVDrom (flaky) + FDD
USB ML-1210 printer (i wouldn't recommend this for linux btw)
2 USB ports (both in use)
network card, i bought it for about ten quid but can't remember which one
harvey has a rollerball instead of a mouse.
AOC 17' monitor
video card i can't remember    
896MB of DDR RAM (of which only 640 is detected by the motherboard. it has 3 RAM slots, but can only setect 256MB from each one, and since my RAM is 1x 128, 1 x 256 and 1 x 512, i'm stuffed)
slack 9.1 with KDE (until recent5ly RH9.0) and windows 2000 (which can probably go now as i have no use for it)
I am not at home, maybe will update these sepcs to less embarrassing ones when i get home.


claudia:
claudia is a Compaq M300 laptop.
600MHz P3
128Mb RAM
11.9Gb Hard Drive
DVD ROM (8x i think) and FDD, touchpad too.
infra red port (that i have never used)
internal network card (i am at home, so don't know again what one)
2 USB ports
a docking station, and all that guff
mandrake 9.1 and GNOME but pretty broken due to an attempt to urpmi up to 10.0, plus a windows (can't remember which, probably 98)
visit these websites and make yourself happy forever:

I know that, I'm just playing around.  I like making fun of Red Hat though, it's fun.  ;)

That said, I've found Fedora using an unusual amount of memory even with services shut off.  Perhaps it's just Gnome bloat, or maybe the actual sysreqs for FC3 (64MB for text mode) are for a reason.
