Dont put an end to this thread.
Perhaps someone can summarise the points you have made. They are very valid.
a. Increase Swap
b. Stop services that are not required
c. Get More RAM (since lower ram = more swap file usage = slower /
inefficient performance)
d. Recomend use of less resource hungary software (galeon instead of
mozilla)
e. Do not fully shut off software that you are going to use again and again
(eg, minimise mozilla instead of closing it when you finish looking at a
webpage)
An additional point I guess we can also make here is that in MS Windows XP
also, most software takes time to open. Outlook express takes more than 20
seconds (and massive HDD Access) to open and MSOffice XP is much worse. We
can not compare a PC running Win98 to RedHat9. That comparison does not make
sense.

Talking of the preloader of mozilla in Windows, can we have a *generalized* pre-loader in linux ??
I would say it wouldn't be too difficult to write a daemon that preloads stuff and keeps general statistics as to which executable/library is used the most.
This would increase the booting time by little but the net result should be quite surprising in my opinion.
IE starts so fast in windows is because just about everything that it requires is preloaded when windows boots. On the other hand most of the stuff that mozilla needs is loaded when it is started.
Taking up the proj. anyone ?
I might do so, but let me know if it would really make a difference.

Morning Folks,
It would be great towards meeting sometime soon towards discusing
some activities that we could perform for the current year.
I know its very easy for me to speak, but lets decide on some conrete
events and take them ahead with specific focus on FLOSS/Gnu-Linux
events.

P4(a)1.6GHz, 128MB RAM, 40GB HDD, 256mb Swap, default windowmanager,
KDE as desktop.
The installation is the default desktop installation, with no
customisation whatsoever. This system is a test system, that
i installed to test this very fact.
I have seen this happen on every linux box that I have come
across, *regardless of m/c configuration*.
One of my buddies commented to me once, and i quote -
"The main reason why Linux is not very popular in cybercafe's
is because apps like browsers & office applications take too
long to open."
And hence this discussion thread.
>Try not running XWindows and then see if the disk io continues.
If you have read my first post regarding this matter i specifically
mentioned that this is obsererved *only in GUI mode*.
cheerio

hi,
i am running rh9.0 in runlevel 5. kde is the default window manager.
many times during boot, the graphics are not loaded. the services turn
on, after which the text prompt is shown. the next step is to get a
graphical login. but often the graphics get scrambled. i get a few
vertical lines flashing like in X configuration and then need to reboot.
but mostly gui mode starts up without any errors with proper colors,
mouse etc.
why does X not load sometimes? i have an onboard intel extreme graphics
card on an intel 845 gbv motherboard. as i mentioned earlier mostly X
and kde run smoothly.
thanks

man! i am not complaining about the hdd access my system does.... mine is a
RHL8.0 on a P3-933 mhz, with 128MB SD RAM, the hard disk also runs at 5400
something RPM... swap alloted is half GB,
i've seen hdd access right from the days i had RHL6.0, then 7.1 and now
8.0... I've always chosen to do a full installation off the CDs, just to
taste everything that's inside...
Agreed i have many services running, I just turn it on to work with it...
telnetting into smtp/ftp/telnet servers...
I think the people here are comparing the hdd access of M$ windows with
gnu/linux... Windows loads all the configuration settings (Registry) into
the RAM at startup, whereas gnu/linux apps have to read the config files the
first time they start (am just speculating a reason)...also many services
report their errors to the root's mailbox... These might be one of the many
reasons of unexpected hdd access... Is my justification correct???
