Thanks again,

Thanks for this. I like it when people don't just give you a recipe to follow blindly, but actually explain the reason behind each step. I've learned some cool things.
I kept noticing some choppiness (nothing serious, but still) on my system that even disabling "desktop effects" altogether didn't seem to help. Now, with your tips, I can see that the animations were to blame for that and, after disabling them, everything runs smoothly even with some nice effects enabled.

I get tempted to try it again, do you think it runs on my old desktop (see signature). If I install the desktop, can I delete it again with all the corresponding applications or is it safer to dual boot?

Thanks you! I bookmarked this page! Just one question though I think it is silly Will this tweaks applicable for the final release of kubuntu 12.04 LTS??

Your desktop meets the system requirements and should work fine. I didn't quite understand the "an I delete it again with all the corresponding applications or is it safer to dual boot?" part?
Does the desktop already have Ubuntu or something?

Re: How to make Kubuntu (KDE) blazing fast and optimise it for performance
Thank you for the very helpful info. Some of it I knew, but it was good to have a more complete look at my system (at a time when I was just about to distro hop, again).
