We have a lengthy topic on performance improvement ideas here:
viewtopic.php?p=14791#14791Some of the more worthwhile suggestions include:
* Disabling services you don't need
* Reducing the memory wasted on the frame buffer
* Changing desktops / window managers -- Fluxbox is very light on resources but also on features (for example you have to create your own menus). XFCE4 is nice and responsive while retaining a good set of features
It would help if you could be more specific regarding your performance issues. Also, others may be more inclined to respond if you're a bit more tactful in your posts.
EDIT: On YDL 6.2, XFCE4 is included but not installed by default. To install:
- Code: Select all
su
<root password>
- Code: Select all
yum groupinstall "XFCE4 Desktop Environment"
- Code: Select all
exit
- Code: Select all
cp -a /etc/skel/.config ~
- Code: Select all
exit
Then logout, click on Session at the login screen, and select XFCE
