tips for optimizing ubuntu?
I'm currently using Warty (updating to Hoary shortly, tried to update with hoary repositories, but something's gone terribly wrong) on a 500MHz celeron thinkpad, and it runs somewhat sluggish, especially during startup. During boot, I see it do things such as synchronize with a timeserver, start "internet superserver" (is this for internet support or some sort of server system?), start "Postfix Mail Transport agent", start raid devices and LVM volumes, none of which I really use/need (I use reiserfs instead of ext3, btw). How do I go about removing/disabling these (specific files please)? Also, I plan on creating a custom kernel to further optimize the hardware support, but I have a bit of a question: If I have a computer running windows xp with an ntfs partition shared, do I need ntfs support in the kernel, or is that take care of by smb? Thanks

if u want to increase its speed then try:
* using a lesser resource demanding windows manager like xfce , fluxbox , icewm * close unneeded services * set up hdparm (to optimize the hard disk) |
I'd add another tip. Prelink everything in site to speed it up (worked for me). This little howto has worked a treat for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1971.html
