Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y This is a desktop comparison of Red Hat Linux 9 and SuSE 8.2 Professional Edition. We have used Red Hat Linux 8 for all our work since last fall, and installed version 9 as soon as it became available. However, we have not been fully content with Red Hat, so we gave SuSE 8.2 a try when it became available this month.

RH 9 with Gnome Is Slow
by jorj on Tue 29th Apr 2003 06:08 UTC

I am writing this from Mozilla on a RH9 PC. Launching applications is excruciatingly slow. Same story with RH8. I upgraded from RH8 and now whenever I click on the shortcut it starts the installer, so I gave up.
I used to use XFCE on RH7.3 (and earlier). Can't find any RPMs for RH8 or 9.
Here's to XFCE4. screen shots look good.
