SSD's dont magically make booting fast, nor do CPU's. OS's have to be optimised to make the most from a drive. 30 years of optimising an OS on spindles compared to 2 years of testing SSD's? My old AMDXP1900+ booted Windows in 10 seconds when I trimmed it down. I still can't beat that now on WinXP on my RAID0 2core 4GB set up. Linux can now by default, though. Yays for Moblin pushing the boundaries! Windows 7 though has certainly made inroads though. Boot times on that are certainly respectible.

Though the boot times are fantastic, unfortunately they will be offset by the five years it takes to get a stable release from an open source project. *ducks*
/not a linux troll, my laptop and home server run sidux and lenny respectively.

Use Slackware or Debian if you want stable.

Check out their website.


I've got just over 15 seconds to login screen on Debian (plus a bit more to start up the graphical environment. On a rotating hard drive, that's pretty good.
