Windws 7, Mac OS X 10.3, and Debian Linux bootup battle!

I decided to see which machine would boot faster. My Windows 7 PC, my first iMac G3 or my second iMac G3

Here are each machine's specs,
333mhz 288MB RAM, Mac OS X 10.3 (Red iMac)
600mhz 256MB RAM, Debian 5.04 (Snow iMac)
2.7GHZ Dual Core 8GB RAM, Windows 7 (eMachines PC)

Check out the battle for awesomeness, and check out the little iMac that could (well, that NEARLY could!)

You're running an eMachines.

Get out.

@coffeeandsugar20 eMachines are awesome.. if you know how to care for them. Nothing wrong with an eMachine. Fine computers at a reasonable price. I've known guys with similar systems (spec wise) already have to replace theirs.. while mine keeps chugging along.

@mlthomp1981 I agree my parents have an all original p4 3ghz 1gb ram 160gb hdd from 2007 when vista came out and nothing is ever wrong with it.

@MarioZeldaPokemon My MacBook Pro boots up Mac OS X in about 30 seconds, and just over 12 seconds to boot Ubuntu 10.4 :D

Awesome that such an old machine nearly beat Win7. Also, even with a faster machine, Linux takes longer to boot than the Mac.
