Nautilus is to Konqueror as OSX is to Windows95.
Just a crapload of really cool eyecandy. It comes at a beefy performance cost though, but it can be used on even old and slow stuff.. i just wouldn't recommend it.
Who in god's sweet name modded me up as informative?
Shift happens. Fire it up.
Nautilus runs as fast as Windows
does in IDE mode when running on SCSI.
This is a joke, right?
I do not believe he would have written
it that way unless he meant for it to be serious.
I believe you are anti-scsi. It may be because
you are still using a 286, or maybe you are
jealous that he has scsi and that you don't.
Either way, he has his own preferrences, and
you have yours. Get off his case.
You've posted at least three times that people
complaining about Nautilus' speed (or lack thereof)
should ditch their IDE drives and go to SCSI.
Perhaps this guy prefers scsi, and you don't.
Or perhaps he is making a valid point. IDE is
only so many wires, and scsi has so many more.
Plus with the ability to put up to 15 drives
on there, you can find someones old 500 meg
scsi drive that they will give you, and give
yourself another page file or some other use
for it, without saying "You know, I can't really use
that drive, I already have 4 drives hooked up
to my eide controller", assuming that you do
not use raid. I believe you may be in love with eide,
or even ide, because you may not yet have the
capabilities of eide. Who knows?
You might want to jump a little, I'm
gonna throw some basic logic at you.
AHHH..
If the Windows file manager runs as fast
on IDE as Nautilus does on SCSI, you can make
two conclusions: (1) SCSI is not any faster
than IDE, and Nautilus is just slower than the
Windows FM. (2) SCSI is faster than IDE, and
Nautilus is a lot slower than the Windows FM.
SCSI IS FASTER THAN IDE AND EIDE!!! Any A+
certified technician can tell you this. Even my
little 13 year old brother can tell you this.
Let me call him in here, I will tell you what he and
I talked about...
Hi brother.
Hi
Which is faster EIDE, or SCSI
SCSI is
So you see, it would be of great advantage to know more
than my 13 year old brother does.
Either way, you're not helping your case.
While we're on the subject, you might want to
consider that if only one device on the
controller is speaking, SCSI has no real
advantage over IDE. That means for most desktop
systems, which only have one hard drive, IDE is
perfectly sufficient and a hell of a lot
cheaper. Do your own research: here's the first
link [acc.umu.se] I found at google on the subject.
I would assume that if you have scsi, you have more
than one drive connected. So this argument is way
down the tubes already. Ha.
So drop your ridiculous SCSI fetish and recognize
that Nautilus is just slow (even according to your
own damned post).
If you were to put it on a decent processor,
and by decent, I mean anything over 486 dx2, you
would probably be doing better. Hmm.... or maybe
you just don't know how to set it up. Who knows?
Quite honestly, I do not even want to attempt to
set up nautilus, but I have heard great things
about it. You are just jealous of the guy
because he knows more than you do. Either that,
or you just posted because you felt like it. If
you could keep this down to a smaller amount,
then it would probably be better for the
servers.
