I tried RedHat 7.2 recently with Ext3 on a P266 machine. On that platform
its a load of doggy-doo! Even though I had only put it on the base
directories (/usr was on another disk and still running under ext2), the
speed of operation was cut to about half what I was getting with RH6.2 and
ext2. Which system does Mandrake 8.0 use - that seems about as fast as
RH6.2?
