Ok, though you may have a point on some of these, I do have a few comments: 1. What programs are started on the Windows boot vs the Linux boot? I've got windows '98 running on 3 computers here, but noway they boot in 20+9 seconds. You might want to have a look at the Linux bootsequence to see if you really need all those services (especially scanning for new hardware can take up quite a bit of time). 2. Did you take the reboot times into account every time you install anything on Windows (especially '98)? 3. Don't compare mplayer to Kaffeine. I use mplayer directly under Linux, and it reacts immediately, not after 12 seconds. 4. Which control center program did you use under Windows that come up in less than 1 sec? 5. What component did you add in 4 seconds under Windows '98? 6. 15 seconds for kwrite? That doesn't sound right. As said: you probably have a point that some tools take more time on Linux, though I'm not sure if all the comparisons you did were really comparable. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
