I’ve had about a month to play with ubuntu 8.04, and for the most part, things have been running smoothly, but I’ve realized there are some tweaks here and there that can really make your life even easier. So without further to do, lets begin!
1. Start-Up Manager
Start-Up Manager is an easy way to configure how ubuntu starts. You can change boot splashes, password protect boot, and even change colors and boot order, I found it to be very useful, so I recommend that you give it a try. Luckily this is available through apt, so just pop open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install startupmanager Note: When you start this application it will ask for your sysem password.
