Dear Debian users, A couple of my friends who were using Sarge, on machines with 128 MB of RAM and 256 MB of RAM have complained that an upgrade from Sarge to Etch has slowed their machine down considerably. This is irrespective of the Window Manager. Is there any particular reason why this could be happening? I could not pin down anything in particular which could cause this to happen.
Hi, just want to report my experience. AMD2000, 256MB Ram running etch, my desktop is icewm. I usually run grass+mysql+apache2+quanta+firefox+xterm together, not a light environment, isn't it ;-) Well I tried both the default debian kernel and a recompiled one but, as well know (all debian kernel oriented folks say this) there's no significant gain in performances. Of course I obtained serious performance gain removing all default running deamons I didn't need such as exim4, hald, portmap, ssh, dbus. cheers raffaele
