Hi all,

 

Just installed Fedora core2 last night on a 1.2ghz system w 256M of RAM

 

Fresh install, had it format the hard drive.

 

Since my intention is to learn Fedora at a network engineering level, I chose to install every thing.

 

The boot up is a bit slower then I expected and launching programs takes a bit longer then expected as well.

 

I guess the first thing I need to do is to optimize the system

 

Looking for a "defrag" and a "services" and a "startup" and a "virtual memory" type area so I can get a better idea of whats running, how much resources it is using and how to turn certain things off. Where would that be and what are those items called in Linux terms?

 

Any suggestions on how to best optimize and tune a freshly installed system would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

he's nine months old now :)

 

cheers

hi, during the night, my isp decided to change both my ips, which meant that of course the dns nameservers were pointing to someone else

 

i've setup 4 new nameservers on [/url][url=http://www.everydns.net/index.php]http://www.everydns.net/index.php

 

and hope that using them will avoid such problems in the future

 

thanks for bearing with us

 

cheers

******************************

 

A couple was invited to a swanky family masked fancy-dress Halloween party. The wife got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed, and there was no need for his good time to be spoiled by not going.

 

So he took his costume and away he went. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, awakened without pain, and, as it was still early, decided to go to the party.

 

In as much as her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him.

 

So she joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice chick he could and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there.

 

His wife went up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new stuff that had just arrived. She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he was her husband.

 

After some more to drink he finally he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and had a quickie in the back seat.

 

Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away and went home and put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make up for his outrageous behaviour.

 

She was sitting up reading when he came in, so she asked what kind of time he had. He said, "Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there."

 

Then she asked, "Did you dance much?" He replied, "I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the spare room and played poker all evening."

 

Then she said with unashamed sarcasm, "You must have looked really silly wearing that costume playing poker all night!"

 

And the husband returned, "Actually I gave my costume to your Dad. Apparently he had a whale of a time"

In an airplane the captain told the passengers: "This is your Captain speaking. We are loosing height and we do not have fuel enough for reaching land. Therefore, we have to let all baggage leave the airplane." The airplane got height again. Half a our later the airplane lost height again and the captain were on the loudspeakers once more: "This is your captain speaking. We are still loosing height, and we can not reach land without having some passengers to leave the plane. It is a bad situation but we will do this in an honest and democratic way - we will use the alphabet - starting with A. Are there any African passengers?" No one answered. Are there any Black passengers?" Still no one answered. Are there any Coloured passengers?" Still no one answered but back in the airplane a little boy asked his father: "Dad, you have always told me to be honest. We are both from Africa and have black coloured skin." "Yes, my son. That is right. But today we are Niggers".

Recently or perhaps not so recently, my computer started looking for hdc when it starts up. this is strange because i dont have an hdc, just an hda. It's not really causing me any major problems but it does waste considerable time at boot up looking for it. I'm using fedcore 1, any suggestions?
