Hi all;
I’m new in linux,and trying to use opensuse 11.1.
I Only install ATI drive,nothing more
I want to try to use linux but…it’s so much slow 
i don’t know what can be…and i don’t think it’s normal…but it’s discourageding me…
Some idea what is the problema…what can i do…
(I have a X2 4000+ , 2GB…)
I wait 
Thank you
Open Yast software management and search for
beagle
Delete all beagle entries - Reboot
Explain slow anyway. In a terminal if you type:
top
It will show process info

If it is your Internet connection that is slow also disable IPv6. You can do
this globally in YAST->Network Devices->Network Card.

No,not the internet connection , The System…
For exemple…It take more them 10 seconds to star firefox…3minutos to open the system when it’s starts…
All the programs…are too slow to load…
if i click in " my computer " Take 10 seconds to open … i don’t think it’s normal !
hi Cafofo,
i guess you can get us your top -c result
and you can try :
-
Limit RAM usage. If Firefox takes up too much memory on your computer, you can limit the amount of RAM it is allowed to us. Again, go to about:config, filter “browser.cache” and select “browser.cache.disk.capacity”. It’s set to 50000, but you can lower it, depending on how much memory you have. Try 15000 if you have between 512MB and 1GB ram.
-
Reduce RAM usage further for when Firefox is minimized. This setting will move Firefox to your hard drive when you minimize it, taking up much less memory. And there is no noticeable difference in speed when you restore Firefox, so it’s definitely worth a go. Again, go to about:config, right-click anywhere and select New-> Boolean. Name it “config.trim_on_minimize” and set it to TRUE. You have to restart Firefox for these settings to take effect.
Also removing beagle is very very useful in slow system issues.
sudo zypper rm beagle*
I dont think reduce RAM is a solution…i have 2GB… it’s more then its needed…
Hehe…may i’m idiot…but i will try another Linux Distro…opensuse don’t like me!hehehe

right i guess the problem not in the ram
anyway i told you what they told me since 4 months ago when i was a new to linux
i just tried to help
i wish if i can help you, but iam like you
iam just a new user for linux
so i wish you luck, and have a great day full of searching 
Try the ipv6 thing mentioned above. I experience massive slowness with anything internet related on all distros so far except Ubuntu (sorry…it’s the truth).
Disabling IPV6 resolves speed issues for me.
Hmm… strange.
I think this also fits to this topic.
After last SuSE upgrade I’m witnessing a major system performance slowdown:/
Don’t know why (and never had does kinds of problems before…even when using beagle, and having everything turned on by default)
Now Firefox is sluggish, lifearea hangs often, banshee as well, can’t configure compiz (after setup and close, all comes back to default). And the hole system in general works very unstable and slow.
