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.

KDE 3.1

Most people here who have claimed that Gnome2 is as fast as KDE obviously havent used KDE 3.1. I upgraded to KDE 3.1 on my SuSE 8.1 install, and things are definitely faster than before ... and in my experience, KDE 3.0.whatever was still faster than Gnome2 on *my* system. I guess I'll have to try SuSE 8.2 & see for myself, but right now, Win XP Pro feels faster than Linux-anything on the same machine.
