You should try source based distros as well: once configured properly, they perform nice.

Chuck. In the interest of saving electricity, I don’t have my PC on 24/7. I primarily use it for playing music or videos. A fast boot time is very useful….if you’re wanting to hear a song, it’s annoying to have to wait minutes for an OS to boot.

Ideally, I’d like an ultra fast booting OS that simply played mp3 and divx files, although this seems to only be offered as a commercial, sealed box product.

I’m curious… Why all the fuss about something that only happens once during your PC operations. The longest boot time is 41 secs which is still shorter than M$ and it gives time to get coffee and then settle down to computing. I have a 3.2ghz HP with an Intel Dual core. Fastest thing I have had. Slowest was an 8080 running DOS… way back. But even then the boot was only once, at the beginning of operations. Then it was forgotten. Perhaps I am missing something. But I just don’t see the importance of booting up faster… unless it is life critical.

Interesting, note that BeOS on my Celeron333 with 128Mo of RAM took 14s to boot from the bootloader to a fully functional desktop.

To do an equivalent comparison, you should have added the time to have KDE or Gnome starting in autologin mode..
So Linux has still quite a few progress to made on this point (and on the interface responsiveness).
