No, I am not an extreme minimalist, I just got a new laptop, so I need to reinstall all of my games, redownload all my anime and my music.

I need to redownload all my anime and my music

Thisis why I bought an external HDD (though it was more for general stuff than anime and music then)

new wallpaper + new custom kernel build (no initrd, cut kernel boot time ~ in half)

Custom kernels are incredible. How'd you rename it?

Back to using Metacity, the task bar is, just like before, tint2.

Using Arch's ABS, it was just a tweak in the PKGBUILD (changing '2.6.*-ARCH' to 2.6.*-YourNameHere')

Otherwise:

Code: [Select]

$ make menuconfig
General setup  --->
 (-ARCH) Local version - append to kernel release

also:

Code: [Select]

$ du -s /lib/modules/*
48M /lib/modules/2.6.39-ARCH
17M /lib/modules/2.6.39-SolarShado

and I probably could've stripped out more drivers

Default kernels are huge. Strip your kernel of whatever modules you don't need, set its output to "quiet", and you boot in a quarter of the time.

does 'quiet' help w/ speed that much? I thought it just hid the console messages (which I kinda like seeing, but are too fast to see now)

Printing takes time, or at least it does on this old machine.

Code: [Select]

$ cat print.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
    int i = 0;
    while (i < 1000000) {
    i++; printf("%d\n",i);
    }
    return 0;
}
$ cat noprint.c
int main ()
{
    int i = 0;
    while (i < 1000000) i++;
    return 0;
}
$ gcc -o print print.c; gcc -o noprint noprint.c
$ time ./print > /dev/null

real    0m0.282s
