Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 Boot on SSD

Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 beta x64 booting up.
Cpu:e8400 Mo:dg45fc SSD:x-25e.
Bios boot time = 17 seconds
Ubuntu OS boot time = 13 seconds (with out any modifications, fs ext4)
Any application = miliseconds.
Unfortunatly the Bios is pathetically slow, stay tuned as it will soon be replaced by CoreBoot which should drop the total boot time down to about 20 seconds. For the current status feel free to check my website at meson.us Ps. The bar at the bottom is called "gnome-do" you can get in from the add/remove menu.

Crazy fast, but how much did the ssd cost?

[Welcome2OpenSource]

the x25e cost me $411.60 when I bought it a year ago.

What dock program is that, and what theme for the dock did you use? I'm looking to install a dock similar to that but cairo-dock seems to crash on Ubuntu Karmic alpha6.

Gnome-Do, under preferences change the appearance to docky. Enjoy. And on the comment below I meant to say "applications will load up at the same speed with only 2gigs".

Holy shit man, that's a really amp'd out rig you've got there. Too bad I've got a regular hard disk.. that boot was FAST! Nice monitor too :P

How much RAM do you have? Those large programs loaded so quickly!

[Welcome2OpenSource]

the system had 4gigs when I filmed it but specifically those applications will load up at the same speed with only 4gigs. The hard drive really is doing all the hard work to start up the applications. cheap ram is already way faster then any hard drive, its just temporary memory. The hard drive cost more then all the other parts combined on that system. But ssd are getting alot cheaper. I would recommend the intel 25-m ssd hard drives to anyone.

SSD+Linux=rules!!

That's amazing... I can't wait till SSDs get cheaper than hard disks, sooner or later it'll happen (unless Seagate really starts patent trolling).
