Does SUSE or KDE have a plan on getting this time down? It'll be very difficult for them to compete for OS supremecy if it takes winxp 20secs (no kidding, I've seen it happen!!) and suse/kde more than 4 mins just to boot up!! Also, what is the big hold up of this? I mean there's no reason why it should take a shell 3-4 secs to come up.

Sure, you could probably do that now Thom, if you want to preload everything into memory, like Windows does. But then those poor blokes with only 128mb or even 256mb of ram are sure going to be doing a bit of swapping, huh? ;o) If 3-4 seconds out of your day proves to be life threatening, then maybe using a computer is something you shouldn't do. By the time you move the mouse pointer to start another app, the shell window is open! Of course, there is always Opteron & SCSI drives! :o) Lee -- --- KMail v1.6.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
