Re: How Can I Improve Linux Speed

Sir -

You could try and use XFCE.  It a lighter weight window manager.
There is a really nice HOW-TO on FedoraNEWS.ORG

http://www.fedoranews.org/contributors/diego_figueroa/xfce/

Also, check out Cobind Linux http://cobind.com/ which is based on Fedora.

Good luck.
