yum is extremely slow

[Alan E. Davis]

So, there's a good question, Should I upgrade my new box to FC4? How would I
go about it? Disks or upgrade this system. This system was installed at the
factory, and even though I've polluted it with crude attempts at working
with yum and rpm and apt, I am reluctant to trash it. I'd like to play with
Ubuntu too, as I have had good success with it on other systems. However, I
like FC3 so far.

Perhaps I can install separately an FC4. This machine has been set up at the
factory with LVM, over one 74GB and one 250GB drive. As one Volume Group. I
assume I can shrink the VG, I am new to LVM. THen install on a different
partition or different VG? I can't find any info on this in my cursory
review of the LVM HOWTO.

Thanks for the information. I thought Python might have something to do with
it.
