To be as objective as possible, and you know I prefer Linux, my RedHat takes
more than one minute to get to the graphical login prompt. I'm using a 1.6GHz P4
on Toshiba laptop. Same at the office where I have a 800MHz PIII in a Compaq
box.
That sucks.
Windows XP boots much faster.
I don't know how you manage to boot that fast with Linux, but I doubt it's the
general trend anyway.
Shutting the OS down is also very long under Linux. I admit I do not understand
why.
But I still prefer Linux. Boot/power down time is not that important.
