Ultimate Ubuntu performance tweaking guide
Lets start first with the kernel:
apt-get install build-essential libncurses-dev kernel-package
cd /usr/src
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.20.tar.bz2
This will download the latest sources available, in my case linux-2.6.20.tar.bz2
cd /usr/src
tar -xjf linux-2.6.20.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.20
Now lets apply the Con Kolivas patches, these are patches designed to improve system responsiveness with specific emphasis on the desktop, but suitable to any workload.
