SUSE Linux is first & foremost an open-source operating system. Therefore it must change to meet the new Home User's requirements.
There is a huge amount of research going on in this area, it's not something you can just do with one package, if it were that simple it would have been done long ago. But people are working on it. 10.0 was a great improvement to previous versions
Why not just have KDM start sooner?
Not sure if that is the only thing. People (like me) tend to compare against WinXP in terms of booting. There are a few tricks the MS folks do to get XP to boot "faster" than it otherwise might. I know there are the projects working on this - I think SUPER is the only one - http://en.opensuse.org/SUPER#SUPER._SUSE_Performance_Enhanced_Release - but I'd love to see these changes in the actual release. I, too, boot my laptop at least once per day. Sometimes twice a day. I've had issues with the suspend process where I lose the session - ever since 10.0 - so I don't use it anymore. -- k
