It could help a bit. also, is your drive a 7200rpm eSATA2 ? That would be a good interim solution too. That is what I run and I have no problem with slow boots. Also, you might consider using a lighter than gnome desktop. There were posts on this list about what would be such a lightweight desktop. Good luck. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
