1. Check System Settings->services and see if you can turn off some of the unwanted services. 2. I suggest you to install apt & synaptic as suggested in fedoranews.org website http://fedoranews.org/jorge/howto/howto02.shtml and then search for mplayer from the search menu. And then select and install. You are all set. 3. search for rdesktop and tsclient in synaptic and install. Raghu. On Mon, 2004-02-16 at 22:38, Ron Henderson wrote:

Ron Henderson became daring and sent these 1.0K bytes, One of the reasons linux is faster then windows in a lot of corners is because everything you do and see is loaded into RAM, regardless of how much memory you have linux will eventually consume it all. As i type this my workstation has 2GB of RAM with 99% utilization. This topic has been touched on before on this list, i would search the list archives for a deeper explaination if thats what you want. This topic pops up fairly frequently so there shouldn't be much trouble finding it.

It will use all your free memory for cache and buffers, thus lowering disk usage (and maintaing your swap low) The games you're talking about, these games use 3d stuff? It can be very possible that it's a opengl game and your video board is not using it (for instance, chromium and tux-racer). Try installing frozen-bubble and see if it's slow. Some people already helped you on this. There's more than 1 way to find it. One is with fedora menu-internet. Other is adding it to a gnome panel. Click an empty space of the gnome bar and select "add to panel - internet - terminal server client". -- []s Alexandre Ganso 500 FOUR vermelha - Diretor Steel Goose Moto Group
