HOWTO: Speeding up Debian
They are optional packages.Bulkley wrote:Question: do I need ppp and pppconfig? I haven't used a dial-up modem since I switched to adsl which used pppoe. Or, are they mixed somehow?

Doh! Somehow I completely missed that you were now using adsl.
Here's what I probably should have told you:

I have a question: I heard somewhere that if you apt-get -b source xorg <yourwm> that it will be faster and more responsive. Is this true, or is it bologna?

I guess I'll give it a shot when I get my laptop back, I sent it into System76 for repairs. Hopefully I'll have it back by the end of the week.

They do different things:Hevoos wrote:When I ran sysvconfig I noticed that I have three daemons running that seems to do the same thing, these are:
cron
atd
and anacron
Do I really need all three of them, or can I just remove atd and anacron?
- cron - a usual cron simply executes a command at regular intervals, and does little thinking about it.
- at - lets you execute a command at a particular time, or add it to a queue of commands and stuff.
- anacron - makes sure that the things in cron actually get ran. cron assumes that the computer is on 24/7, so if something is set to run at 03:00 every morning and your computer isn't on, it'll never run. Each time anacron is ran, it checks when the jobs were last ran, and then runs anything that should be done.

If you set hardware specific compiling options so it's optimised for your machine, it'll be quicker. But trust me on this, it is almost certainly not worth the time and hassle.Pobega wrote:I have a question: I heard somewhere that if you apt-get -b source xorg <yourwm> that it will be faster and more responsive.

Set the locales you want in /etc/locale.gen, and then run locale-gen, that should do it.hellfire[bg] wrote:How can i restore locales deleted by locale purge?
