    Phoronix: MeeGo 1.2 Boots Nearly Twice As Fast As Fedora, Ubuntu

    Prior to being spun into MeeGo, Intel's Moblin Linux distribution was one of the fastest-booting Linux distributions. Moblin worked phenomenally for Intel Atom netbooks with a great user-interface and was very quick at starting up. With the release this week of MeeGo 1.2, we have some Bootchart numbers for MeeGo 1.2 Netbook UX compared to Fedora 14 and Ubuntu 11.04...

      Bootup time is really just a Pissing contest.

          Conclusions?

          It looks like the kernel+initrd finishes faster on MeeGo and MeeGo simply starts less. However it's hard to tell because the MeeGo chart is not high resolution so it's difficult to read...

            Why not Fedora 15?

            Why compare to Fedora 14, and not 15, which (as you know because I told you) is gold and has major changes (improvements) in startup?

                  +100. Give me a proper working and reliable sleep instead.

                    I guess netbook users would be more likely to shut down a device when not in use, or when travelling, although they might use sleep as well. The boot time is useless for desktop users but that's not really the target...
