Moblin v2.0 beta VS Ubuntu 9.04 Boot time

[Unguidedone]

i can boot in less then 10 seconds thanks to my system is loaded to an ssd

You may try the new (k)ubuntu 10.04, it runs very good here on my netbook with a bootup time around 50secs (including bios post). I think you could somehow boost it a little more

I have a HP netbook, produced in maybe 05' or 06', 6735b model. With it came Windows Vista and horrible HP BIOS, and overall, it's a rather slow computer. I rarely ever use it for anything other than browsing the internet, chatting, studying or playing old games. I am very curious about replacing the bios with coreboot bios and swapping vista with Moblin, Fedora 13 or something - but I need to know if it's "safe" and if I can run my school apps through WINE on it. Please PM me

@Bluekill contact me, however this is EXTREMELY Risky if you do not have an OS Disc not a recovery the whole OS - As for WINE Office should WORK but WINE isn't guaranteed to work Upgrade to 7 or if still can downgrade to XP (I know right)

sweet man, im running moblin 2.1 on my aao. boot time is crucial for a netbook. every os is special in their own way. dont say bad things about an os just because you think it sucks. nobody cares.

[Rubentje2]

you must not forget that ubuntu is much more variated and extendable then moblin, moblin is good, for normal every day use of internet and that kind. otherwise I guess it's better to go with ubuntu if you like modding your OS and tweaking it a bit

[paladinrulez]

i dont get it.. why should i be bothered by boot time... im booting my computer once a month, only after updates, when i need to turn it off i just make it sleep. the i wake it up and it 'boots' faster than moblin. because its already booted up.

Moblin v2.0 is Ugly but is a good idea

[couto2nv]

sorry it doesnt have your ugly gloss kde/windows touches..

[socotril]

The netbooks are limited.

I don´t like it

[socotril]

Windows Is the Best !!!

Today I have installed Moblin on my acer aspire one ZG5 Model netbook. And I can tell you this moblin is brilliant and moblin does what it has been for. I love all linux versions but I belive if you have a netbook and you use it out and about it would be brilliant to open your netbook and be right there into the center of social networking and speaking to your friends on the move.

Unbutu is good aswell it gains its best at a fast following version of linux and home desktops

[itsjareds]

These results are way skewed for a few important reasons:

- Moblin is developed for only one set of hardware

- Moblin only has a lightweight interface

- You booted the normal Ubuntu instead of Ubuntu Netbook Remix, which means there's a heavier interface to load up (GNOME)

- Ubuntu has almost infinite variations of hardware to account for

[couto2nv]

UNR is GNOME.. Fail.

[iFuff]

ubuntu can run on hp dv2! :P

[arranmc182]

well u would be pissed if Ubuntu booted faster than Moblin as modlin is made to run on that hardware only

[Yobotistan]

I just suspend my Ubuntu - I don't care much about rebooting.

[LingLingX8]

you guys knock off your "who has the biggest cock"-thinking. It's not only about which OS boots faster but to see how fast Moblin actually boots. I use Ubuntu very often and I don't have the time to test Moblin, but this video gave me an idea of the boot time. Thanks for uploading!

[chupy35]

its a bad comparision is like put unix without services will be 50% faster than moblin

better compare moblin vs chromeos (when it comes)

[eragonn14]

ChromeOS will be piece of sh**t.

I want Google Wave ;)

You are making a comparison between peaches and apples. Because Ubuntu comes with services that are useless for a netbook. If you compile your Ubuntu kernel and drop the useless services for your machine you may short the boot time of Ubuntu.

[poresn]

As you pointed out, I compared peaches and apples.

Just I hope that Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook flavor becomes faster and suitable for Netbooks by taking in Moblin technology.

After video uploading, Canonical has announced Ubuntu Moblin Remix.

It's a great thing.

[jeddycole]

@rbocazl peaches and apples can be fruitfully compared.

[Guillebep]

My Ubuntu boots in more than 1 minute!!! :S

[kaltsinho]

cant wait for moblin.....
