That’s not too bad, I guess. Still not the 7 hours I see in Vista. I guess I’m doomed to find a laptop I can just sacrifice out of the gate.
Alfihar,
The battery life you say you get is about on par with what I have seen in Linux Mint (based off Ubuntu), or Arch Linux. I wanted to try Fedora a while ago when I first got it but couldnt get the install to work. Cant remember what the errors were but I might try it again. What I tend to find is that on Mint the system tends to quickly get bogged down when I have multiple things open more so than in Arch or another distro. I usually run Firefox with multiple tabs, XChat, Pidgin, and Skype, and will open and close my email during this. How does Fedora handle when it has about that much (or more) open?
edit: I have upgraded the memory to 2GB’s, incase you wondered if it was my memory amounts.
Well at the moment I’m running the following and Fedora doesn’t really feel any slower to me, Firefox (couple of tabs), Evolution, Pidgin, XChat, Eclipse IDE, gedit, Rhythmbox, GHex, GIMP, a couple of terminal windows and a DTree generator (not processing). At this point I’m using about 30% RAM and 0% Swap. I’ve disabled all the background services which I don’t need, which may help a bit though.
Some things do run slowly, though due mostly to the slow CPU or just the way the application runs such as Eclipse.
I tried Mint a while back though not on my NC10, I did notice that it felt a bit sluggish. I tend to find Ubuntu feels a bit sluggish as well when I had a lot open.
how well doeas Compiz Fusion runs on the samsung with fedora? I remember with ubuntu if yo had more than one windows open it was a litle slugish
@Xisdibik: It varies depending on what I’m doing, if I’m not doing anything with the programs then the processor is practically idle.
@gxenakis: I’ve not noticed it being sluggish, though I don’t use things like wobbly windows or the cube. It feels a lot faster/smoother than my old laptop (AMD 64 3000+, ATi Radeon 9600).
