Speed Up Ubuntu-Gnome boot time   forum
Written by Arioch the 28 Feb 08 at 15:26. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
I guess everybody has experienced the rather long boot up times in Ubuntu (particularly with laptops). I know they are already working on it, but the change from feisty to gutsy was a pain in the ass in terms of boot up speed.
A default WinXP installation beats Ubuntu's boot up time by far!! That shouldn't be allowed fellas!!

I therefore propose to the development team (both Ubuntu and by extension Gnome)to work on the improvement of boot up times in Ubuntu systems.

Scibuntu: Ubuntu for Scientists  
Written by Arioch the 12 Mar 08 at 09:09. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
I work in Science. What about a fully featured flavour of Ubuntu filled with computational soft, programing tools, graphical representation capabilities, scientific text editing, publication database control...etc

That would make scientists life much more easy and would promote migration from W$ and OS systems to Ubuntu.

Temptative name: Scibuntu--Linux for Scientists
