Yes, I think that it takes longer to boot.
But it may not be totally SuSE's fault- it could be the 2.6.x kernel which according to Andrew Morton (it's main maintainer) says that it has too many bugs. Linus (Torvald) agrees with him and states that perhaps it is time to stop further development and fix the bugs. See article on www.theinquirer.net dated 9/5/06 (do a search on either Torvald or Morton).
Cheers.
I've heard that about the kernel too. I've taken a look and the magazine is Linux Format but it's issue 78 which is too new to show on the website :-( However, they claim a boot time of 50 seconds on their test PC for SuSE 10. It was nearly double that on the same PC for 10.1 Obviously it doesn't matter if you tend to leave your PC on 24/7 I don't, however :-( The main PC lives in the bedroom and I do like to get some sleep :-))) -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== PLEASE DON'T drink and drive it's not clever, it's just stupid.
