With my dual boot win2k/Linux machine, Linux boots *much* quicker.
Mandrake 8.1 vs Win98SE on this Dell machine and boot-up and shut-down take longer. Mind you, that is comparing it to completion of login procedure too. Both pause for use login and Windows takes longer to complete login than Linux but Linux, overall, does appear to take longer. On the laptop, RedHat 7.2 vs WinME, the shutdown is disconcertingly fast on WinME but on start-up it isn't a fair comparison as WinME has far fewer services available once started. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx neil@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
