I had a dream once that I could switch to Linux, but it seems that the X is the bottleneck. The IDE (and also the Swing clients I'm developing) has really bad resposiveness compared to what I'm used to on Windows. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway I could tune the X system to speed it up, or is it hopeless? Any alternatives to X on Linux that supports Java Swing?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm using Fedora Core 3 and the standard Gnome desktop.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best regards,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Helge Fredriksen</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
