Over at the EeePH forum, member Joel posted a way to speeding up Linux application start-up time with a little app called Preload.
Besically, on Ubuntu you just have to open up a terminal and type in “sudo apt-get install preload“, and your applications will boot up faster.
Since I switched back to XP on my Eee a few months ago, I’d like to know if this actually works. So, Linux users, why don’t you give it a try?
