Speed up ubuntu
Thursday, March 6th, 2008A few tip & tricks to speed up your ubuntu
1. Disable IPv6
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases and change the line:
alias net-pf-10 ipv6
to
alias net-pf-10 off #ipv6
2. Run boot processes in parallel
Edit /etc/init.d/rc and change:
CONCURRENCY=none
to
CONCURRENCY=shell
3. Aliasing hostname to localhost
Modify /etc/hosts’s first two line as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost yourhost127.0.1.1 yourhost
where yourhost, is your chosen hostname. This will fasten up applications load.
4. Preload
Preload is an adaptive readahead daemon. It monitors applications that users run, and by analyzing this data, predicts what applications users might run, and fetches those binaries and their dependencies into memory for faster startup times.
sudo apt-get install preload
