faster boot

<< < (3/8) > >>

runkpock:
of course you should look at your startup scripts
to trim down on useless startup programs, like
sendmail is a classic, _most_ people dont need to
start up a mail server on a PC. You can even start
processes in the background on bootup, so that the
system does more than one thing at a time. but
you should always use the KISS method with things
that dont make much of a difference, like bootup
times  ;)  Of course you can change it, it's not
binary only, don't let freedom choke you too badly.

Fett101:
Fastest boot I've seen!

excyle-the-art-fag:
Who the hell cares, I leave my system running, or just use software suspend.

Haha, I should have read this before posting my sound problem question! That's exactly what was happening to me, I just didn't realize it for a while. I think it was actually Gaim that was doing it, ever since I started using the version that came with the OS I haven't had that problem (although that version is not as good)
A little bit more on topic: My experience with startup times is pretty much the same, windows has been faster for me but boots up in one big, uninformative chunk. (I definitely noticed the difference the last time I turned on my PC with XP, and all I saw was a logo and a little scrolling animation.)  :rolleyes:

solo:
yeah i think it was gaim too, i turned sounds off and it doesnt happen any more.
