nah it boots slow, i'm not sure why yet. i'm kind of interested in boot speeds. windows 8 has got slower at logging in than it used to be. and ubuntu seems weirdly slow.
i can't use the normal kernel though - i have a pretty standard gigabyte motherboard p67a-ud3-b3, i5-2500 cpu, ssd. and the ubuntu quantal kernel doesn't seem to work with
my keyboard or mouse. the ubuntu precise kernel works, and my custom 3.6.rc6 kernel does.
my custom kernel boots faster than the ubuntu kernel. i've got gdm disabled, static ip, network-manager and resolvconf disabled. X starts real fast with startx. and once i'm booted
into the console part the system runs fast. it's just the boot is sluggish.
maybe i'll do some timing tommorow. ubuntu starts on my virtual machines fast, but complains about plymouth. but as a desktop it seems to boot slow? it's not like i have lots of services
running or anything, even things like dnsmasq i run on a seperate computer for a local cache.
the other computer boots slow with ubuntu too. but at least my desktop is slightly faster with grub. what's with grub2 having painfully slow video code?
