For karmic, we're still suffering from poor performance on rotational hard drives. If you have one, you can try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-boot/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (that should install a new kernel package, and a new ureadahead package) Usual two reboots to get the benefit; on the Mini 10v this reduces *HDD* boot time to 30s - some are reporting >1 minute improvements on the slowest laptops. -- Scott James Remnant
