  • i did saw a boot, but not one of 25 secs"D

  • Actually, you did. The Grub menu drops away at the 24 second mark, and X is up at the 49 second mark. Since the BIOS delay can't be controlled by the user, it's irrelevant to a true boot time. And the short delay after X appears is dependent on the desktop environment -- in this case, Openbox.

  • @Exdozolie okay. what about Windows XP Service pack 3 booting in 17 seconds on a pentium 4 (2.8Ghz) with 480mb RAM?

  • @jdcrispe95 windxp is 9 years old (and i think you're talking about the non sp version) Linux 2.6.20 is from 2007.

  • @nelizmastr what about a 24.7 second Windows XP boot? ON A SHITTY CELERON!

  • ive seen a k6-2 boot in 25 seconds on windows 95

  • Sorry kmandla01, but I have to disagree. When they do boot time tests they count from the time the laptop or PC is turned on until it's usable. That includes BIOS, RAID/SCSI controllers, etc.

  • i have a system similar to this that i put windows xp on its a Tangent Shuttle 1000

    Intel Celeron 500mhz

    128mb ram (needs an upgrade baddd.)
