Do yourself a favor and remove the ureadahead package now before you
experience the heartache I had after getting a server up, configured,
ready to go, and then have it not be able to boot because of it. They
may have fixed that nasty bug by now, but if not, it's pretty horrific
to have your new server refuse to boot because it has no GUI... (long
story)
