Hacking Ubuntu to Improve Performance

posted in Developers, GnuLinux, Hacks |

A nice article by Neal Krawetz on extreme tech on how to improve the performance of your Ubuntuhacking_ubuntu.jpg system. He speaks of fine-tuning of your system, about the understanding of the processes which are running,  and resource availability and process start up. Tweaking configurations, about how to disable undesirable processes, enable necessary housekeeping, and adjusting your kernel to better handle your needs to give you the best performance !

We know different versions of Ubuntu (and Linux) use different startup scripts and run different support processes.He nicely quotes :

 "Knowing how one version of Linux works does not mean that you know how all versions work".
 
While it is important to know what is running, it is even more important to know how to track down running processes and tune them to your needs.
