Thread: Compile Ubuntu to Improve Performance

Little performance you get is almost as well rush, perhaps in another system load might notice more fluid and less consumption of RAM by removing unnecessary hardware modules do not have, but we are 64 bit and is not the same as having i386 as 32 bit versions that have a Core Solo, but Ubuntu is compile for i386, i do not know what I mean.

Peero if you require to experience, you have to download a kernel from the official link and then configure and compile it, set up it as also, there are many ways to do this but since you have Ubuntu, you have to do it the Debian way.

The x86_64 are fully optimized for any 64-bit processor, and in the current distributions, the i386 should not be misleading little q has to see that it operate in a 386 can not there is post about it in this forum because I wrote it.

This confuses me a little question with the answer given is this Ubuntu build or compile the kernel, not the same, ubuntu uses precompiled deb packages are very good, I see no need to compile, for that would use gentoo. As for compiling the kernel, because what you have said, but hey, today is almost unnecessary unless, again, want to use some type gentoo in metadistro plan, the only thing you may notice it in time load the kernel and you will not notice, are other things that slow start.

Thankyou all, I think I will continue as I am, I will try KDE to see ifsome speed improved, because the navigation is still a little hungup.

I think KDE is somewhat heavier than Gnome, maybe you should try other desktops lighter LXDE or XFCE kind that I know work on Ubuntu, i think there are many others, but with my limited experience I do not know how they work in Ubuntu.

Hey, KDE is more "greedy" than Gnome, so if you think Gnome is "slow", KDE will go, i think the problem is not hardware unless you have less than 512 MB, and yet, as the desktop environment, not be a problem, but Ubuntu itself, my recommendation to try another distro that no "thing" and are as friendly as she, Fedora, openSUSE and Mandriva, PCLinuxOS and eg and so on.


If you want to stick with Ubuntu, I think Kubuntu (KDE) would not be the solution (add to the heaviness of Ubuntu the highest consumption of resources KDE4 (KDE3 if not both)), maybe try Xubuntu or Lubuntu (LXDE) itself would be a better option, by the way, what graphics accompanying the whole?


We optimize the kernel what always gave me a kernel panic is not good, right ah, 64-bit version whenever possible, or at least is my choice.
