The rason why Linux may run slow for you is because you're using the default kernel from the CD. It loads up the generic modules and modules you don't need. To get the best speed you need to recompile the kernel so it fits your hardware. Using the default drivers and modules is like using old hardware with windows 98, 16 colors no sound and no lan. Most of the time you don't even need to install the drivers because the kernel might already have them. Just have to enable it. Also if you use say a Pentium running at 133MHz and you install RedHat 9 or Fedora Core it will run slow because all of the advances with KDE and GNOME. Unlike the makers of KDE and GNOME they don't make it bloated, they add more useful stuff. Like installing a RPM file with out using the Term window and such. The game that some of us have been playing lately, Enemy Territory I'm able to get 130FPS while in windows I would get around 80FPS to 85FPS.
IBMWarp, you HAVEN'T used Linux! Your posts show that... Quake2 could run @ 40FPS under Linux on P-233. Under Windows it was 15FPS... And don't say about Linux if you haven't used it!!
Well IBM is gone, I'd suggest we ignore his leftover crap and rantings.
People used to say "You never got fired for buying IBM", now it's "You never get fired for buying MS". However IIS is used by like 13% of the HTTP servers out there so it's not that big a threat.
