FASTER!

October 1st, 2008

I’ve found an article that gives some tips how you can improve the speed of your desktop ubuntu. Usually these tips can break your system, actually some of these tips also can. I’ve applied the following and it works fine. My system feels a bit faster.

1. Prelink

sudo apt-get -y install prelink

Change a line inside the configuration file /etc/default/prelink from

PRELINKING=unknown

to

PRELINKING=yes

We will do our first prelinking by executing following command

sudo /etc/cron.daily/prelink

2. Preload

sudo apt-get -y install preload

3. Concurrency

sudo vim /etc/init.d/rc

and find the line CONCURRENCY=none and change it to: CONCURRENCY=shell
