Five seconds is probably ambitious, but I still like how my old Amiga would COLD BOOT in 13 seconds, warm boot was 11 seconds. That's from off, to fully working system. Of course, if I want to add things, like a web server, that will take longer to start up. But the system was up and running normally in that time frame. No churning of things in the background, nothing disabled that you'd normally need when using the system. I think that a quarter minute start up is reasonably practical and sensible. Two minutes, or more, to get started is not, it's extremely inefficient. Especially for a workstation. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.7-53.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
