lowercase folder names  
Written by Roanoke the 1 Mar 08 at 19:31. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
When you get a home directory, all the folders are capitalized. This really hurts when using the commandline. If they can't all be converted to lowercase by default, at least have an option do do so.

Optional "fast shutdown/reboot" button  
Written by probono the 1 Mar 08 at 21:02. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Should immediately shutdown/reboot without waiting any longer, basically like "sync && shutdown -f"

(This function could even be somewhat hidden by requiring something like ctrl-buttonclick)

Remember Boot Options on Kernel Update  
Written by mlong1958 the 29 Feb 08 at 00:02. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Whenever the kernel is updated, remember options such as noapic so the system will boot up after a reboot.

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.
