The Jaunty Jump: Startup
After manually reconfiguring menu.lst, I booted with the new kernel in place. I was very surprised to discover that my boot time greatly increased. Especially after so many articles claiming a speed boost with Jaunty. Even after the initial boot process, logging in to Gnome took much longer than it ever did for me. Overall, I was disappointed at the performance.
However, it could have been a fault with the actual kernel or the way I configured menu.lst. From what I can tell, I didn’t do anything wrong. But then again, I know as much about Linux as I do about women; and that is saying a lot.
