What I would like to see is a comparison to a Windows XP system on the same box similarly configured from start to when all the tray thingies are fully loaded.
I think most of the comparisons that have been done show there isn't usually much in it. XP boots pretty quickly, despite enabling absolutely everything along the way. I don't run Windows at all now, but on any machine I've had both XP and Linux installed, Linux is slower to boot to a full runlevel 5. However, I don't mind waiting a few seconds longer for a more flexible and secure system! David -- "Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance" -Sam Brown
