  • My PC load the latest Debian dist in just 14 sec including latest KDE.

    I'm using the F120 SSD Corsair and AMD Athlon X4.

  • Moblin is a good os for this netbook

  • Anyone has 7 sec boot from a mechanical HDD?

  • @stiiixy: "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?"

    There already is a component in modern OSes that can handle SSD the way they behave - it's called memory manager. SSDs simply behave like DRAMs (only with greater latency when reading and writing and with larger "lines").

  • omg

  • Dl'ing an image RIGHT now

  • lol

  • duh, it moblin- for cell phone the os is probably embed into rom

  • 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.
