Some packages (ClamAV, for example) need regular version updates, for security reasons. Debian solved this problem with a "volatile" repository that allow some special packages to be updated rapidly, There should be something similar on Ubuntu.

Speed Up Ubuntu-Gnome boot time

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.
