Problem: If you use wordpress and edit often your posts a high count of old revisions are backuped inside the mysql database:
Solution:
Login mysql
$mysql -u root -p [Enter root password]
at mysql command line select wordpress your database
mysql>use wordpressdb; [Enter]
System echo=Database changed..
delete old backups of posts
mysql>DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = "revision"; [Enter]
System echo=..Entry affected time..
logout database and revisit pages, if you have made a database backup with mysqldump before and after cleanup you see how much size the database lost (du -h wordpress.sql)
often 80% of the size.

Problem: If you install Lucid Lynx on a very old
Laptop (600Mhz/8MB Videoram) the Desktop is very slow.

Solution:
- run as user #gconf-editor
- go /apps/panel/global/tooltips_enabled and remove the cross
- go /apps/metacity/general set cross at reduced_resources
- enable as user “handicapted-settings” at ubuntu sytem menu
- close all and relogin to Desktop it should now speed up
to this:
Speed up Desktop load with:
- go to console (CTRL+ALT+F1)
- login as user
- run #sudo service gdm stop
- run #sudo Xorg -configure this will create new xorg.conf
- run #sudo cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- run #sudo service gdm start
Now GDM or the Deskop is loaded faster! Cause the xorg.conf is pre-configured
