Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 Boot on SSD

[Sousleek]

love jaunty :)

[flashmate99]

not bad, bios-screen still takes too much time.

[rogueamp]

Crazy fast, but how much did the ssd cost?

[Welcome2OpenSource]

the x25e cost me $411.60 when I bought it a year ago.

[flashmate99]

@Welcome2OpenSource wow this is much money. i can buy cpu, grapic card, ram and mainboard with it. nice video. how much gb do you have?

[HalomasterObi1177]

Geez man, crazy fast very nice

[Ebupof]

Would you mind sharing the wallpaper? :)

[maroon5rule]

Sick

[myromance123]

oh man that is a sweet system and Ubuntu makes it look so much more COOLER!  Woot hehe nice man real nice ;)

[itsjareds]

What dock program is that, and what theme for the dock did you use? I'm looking to install a dock similar to that but cairo-dock seems to crash on Ubuntu Karmic alpha6.

[Welcome2OpenSource]

Gnome-Do, under preferences change the appearance to docky. Enjoy. And on the comment below I meant to say "applications will load up at the same speed with only 2gigs".

[Near888]

Really Goood!

[itsjareds]

Holy shit man, that's a really amp'd out rig you've got there. Too bad I've got a regular hard disk.. that boot was FAST! Nice monitor too :P

How much RAM do you have? Those large programs loaded so quickly!

[Welcome2OpenSource]

the system had 4gigs when I filmed it but specifically those applications will load up at the same speed with only 4gigs. The hard drive really is doing all the hard work to start up the applications. cheap ram is already way faster then any hard drive, its just temporary memory. The hard drive cost more then all the other parts combined on that system. But ssd are getting alot cheaper. I would recommend the intel 25-m ssd hard drives to anyone.

[mozaks80]

very nice!

[batlin]

That's amazing... I can't wait till SSDs get cheaper than hard disks, sooner or later it'll happen (unless Seagate really starts patent trolling).

[JayKay3000]

lol. I looked at the vid length but the actual start time is amazing and how fast all the applications load.

[m0td2k]

Did you recompile the kernel, or otherwise optimize the boot process to achieve this speed?

[realbootybabe]

what LCD monitor is that? samsung xxx?

[Welcome2OpenSource]

Updated the Link, its a SyncMaster 245BW.

[Briapv]

E8400 CPU, thats nice. i have NVIDIA 260 GTX Video card(buyed it at NVIDIA shop, a Nvidia 8600 GT was included)

[ThExR3V0LVER]

Awesome this is!

How much did this all cost you?

Plus tell me your graphics card name. ^.^

[idealpicture]

SSD+Linux=rules!!

[Zerorebels]

SSD's sucks.

[Welcome2OpenSource]

2010 will be a good year indeed.

[Welcome2OpenSource]

Applications:Add/Remove:Start up Manager. Open the application (located in system:administration) and Uncheck the "show boot splash" option and your done :D

[Welcome2OpenSource]

You can also do this from the terminal by editing the menu.lst file "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst", look for a long line that says kernel /boot/vmlinux-2....... remove "splash" from the line. and save the file.

[BubBeDj]

which cpu you have?

and which Video board??

[Welcome2OpenSource]

Intel E8400 CPU with an Intel Dg45fc Motherboard. Information is also in the description :p There is no dedicated video card. Thanks for viewing!

[core2darkslayer]

you have a nice pc^_^

[sausagenmuff]

woo! fast, I'm still gonna wait another 1/2 year before getting a SSD (a raid 5 stack is cheaper).

but VERY informative video, thanks man

[nadamsedaovoradi]

Where did you get that mac like dock in ubuntu?

[markoresko]

What SSD(s) is(/are) being Used?

[doomed151]

Wonder how fast will a Gentoo stage 1 install run on this PC :O

[uvmedraco]

NICE!!

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

one of the many awesome features of ubuntu 9.04 is the quickboot. I have an SSD too (hell expensive at the moment) but damn, ubuntu boots in like 5 seconds from "Starting up.." and that includes all the shit being loaded in the desktop :D

Everything works as a computer should work nowadays. By far the greatest bottleneck in any system is the hard drive. Thank god for SSD's :)

[DaBigE2008]

:O wow. I need to get myself an SSD lol. Processor upgrade comes first mind.

[coilgunner2]

Just was messing around with this on the live CD and looks good, right now I'ts being installed onto my second hard drive dual booting windows. 

Can't wait. Terminal ftw, Linux ftw :D

[JamesManes]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

[tipoomaster]

Which SSD is it?

[swain1]

Dude! looks really awsome especially effects and speed n stuff ,really cool stuff you got there

congrats

[lvalen17]

I love ubuntu 9.04.. cant wait till thursday.. da olnt thing i have problems is compiz wen doing the switcher thing of apps.. it restarts to login but not a very big deal

[Welcome2OpenSource]

For anyone else interested in compiz (aka: special effects) just right click on the desktop: change desktop background: visual effects: and choose extra. The two switcher apps keyboard shortcuts are (Super{aka windows key}+Tab) and (shift+alt+up)

[CrasyFingers]

nvm the verbose mode thing, i figured it out lol

[Welcome2OpenSource]

easiest way to get verbose mode for anyone else interested,.. is to go to the add/remove menu and get startup manager :D its lets you configure a few settings very easy without a terminal.

[CrasyFingers]

how do you start ubuntu in verbose mode, i mean in text mode instead of having the progress bar while you're booting

[MJGrindboy]

Use the command -v I think

[vampspell]

Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 very fast in your pc ;) linux greet os im love it :))

[benhellyer]

lol thats quick!

What SSD do you have?

[RaiCoss]

what brand/size is that ssd drive?

[Welcome2OpenSource]

intel 32g x-25e however it should run just as fast on a x25-m.

[cris1881C]

this is amazing

i m trying to install this today

[Welcome2OpenSource]

good luck! feel free to email me with any questions.

[Welcome2OpenSource]

The motherboard has an integrated graphics card "g45", but there is nothing plugged into it other then a cpu, ram 2g, and a ssd.

[avalanche1914]

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
