How to make Ubuntu extremely fast
Old hardware? Want a faster boot up? Need to free some system resources? Want snappier applications? This is for you.
Boot Process
1. Remove Network Manager if you do not need it “sudo apt-get remove network-manager”. If possible give yourself a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces like so:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.150
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.100
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
Having a static IP helps with boot time as your machine doesn’t have to communicate with the router/dhcp server as much to obtain an address.
2. Also remove firestarter or whatever graphical firewall frontend you’re using. Learn to control iptables at boot up and shutdown. It’ll be much snappier.
