Speeding up a machine

[Billy Crook]

Fedora Core 6
I've had the laptop for 2 weeks
I'm using ext3, but as I understand, journaling is optional, and I don't
know how to check to see if its on.
I can tell you that watching it boot, I don't see any consistency checks
going on.
By init scripts, I assume chkconfig is one way to check/configure those?  I
haven't yet developed my leet Linux ninja abilities to the point where I'm
comfortable trolling around the init directories.  I have, however pruned
things with chkconfig and gnome's graphical service editor.
I'm looking up that preemptible thing right now...

Thanks for your help!
