Did you look at the CPU usage on this machine while it was being slow? Maybe
you merely have a process somewhere eating 100% CPU. Is your BIOS the latest
and greatest? Are things still slow at runlevel 3?
I have to say that my family is using Fedora on several laptops from several
manufacturers without trouble. My brother and my parents are also now Fedora
users, on an older P3 machine and a Transmeta laptop respectively. Since my
experience is different from yours I draw different conclusions, which is
that Linux and Fedora in particular is ready enough for "the desktop" of our
children and family.
Just as I can imagine I would also feel embittered and negative if my only
experience had matched yours, I hope you can also imagine that other people
are having a LOT of better experiences out there, so your conslusions are not
definitive.
