[QCLUG] Neat tipsI found to speed up boots

[agamotto]

	Here are two neat tips I found in my new book:

	You can speed up start times in Ubuntu with your dual/multiple cores with 
an easy edit -

	Open your /etc/init.d/rc file with your favorite editor in SU mode, find 
the line that reads CONCURRENCY=none.

	Change this so it reads CONCURRENCY=shell.  Save this file, and reboot. 
This allows your startup scripts and
	other bits to run on whatever cores are free, instead of trying to run all 
of them on one.


	This one is a bit more involved, but it caches frequently used files when 
you boot -

	On boot,(GRUB) highlight your usual startup, and hit e on the keyboard. 
Move the cursor to the second line, which starts with kernel... and hit e 
again.  At the end of the line add the word PROFILE.  Hit enter, then b to 
reboot the computer.  The first time after this will be a bit slower, as 
the computer builds a read-ahead cache, but it should increase speeds after 
a few boot ups.

	Hope this helps someone!
