Server - Never
Boot time for servers do matter for systems where "uptime" is a measured amount and it matters for service contracts. So reducing the boot time from 5 minutes to 1 minute means real money for these providers and is something that everyone should be happy about.
Only if they have an SLA that mandates _severe_ penalties when not met. Have you studied any decent SLAs recently? They're often not worth the paper or screen they're written on. Besides - a 30min outage per annum equates to an uptime of 99.998%. A boot time reduction from 5 to 1min is unlikely to make much of a dent in that, IMHO. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
