Hi. Seems like a great tutorial, but why you need to do all that editing with Gimp? Does the image used in the usplash needs a special format?

How to speed up boot of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

By Dipin Krishna
Use profiling to speed up boot. By using profile, a profile of your boot is kept to make your next boot faster. After a couple of boots, a better profile would be ready for your machine. Follow the steps below for that: 1. Edit your grub $ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub You can find the lines GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" quiet profile " GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""   add profile to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" as shown above. 2. Now Update your grub2. Type this in your terminal sudo update-grub2 3. Reboot. 4. Now edit the grub once again and remove the word profile that we added. Update grub ( sudo update-grub2 ) and then reboot.
