Hi,

I 've recently installed Linux red hat 8.0 on my second computer, but everything is acting very slow. I have made 2 partitions on this second pc, 1st : Win Xp, 2nd : Red Hat 8.0.

All pc's are connected trough a broadband router, on my first pc ( winxp) i got +/- 550 Kbps on
a speed test , on the second pc via xp I had 450 Kbps as result. => http://www.numion.com

When I finally fired up red Hat I got +/- 220 Kbps. I don't get it.
I'm using all three tests same proxies.

Could this be due lack of resources on that pc ? To less swap space ? Standard security on Red Hat is set to High, unless my router has the main firewall. Could this be the red Hat's security problem ?

Could it be that a Pentium II is too slow for RH 8.0 ?

Greetz,
