Hi, I installed Fedora Core 2 on an Athlon 750 with 512MB ram with an Nvidia Vanta II pci video card. After a fresh boot, I timed the following a) startup of Mozilla from the panel till Release notes was rendered b) startup of gnome-terminal from Fedora Menu->System Tools->Terminal till bash prompt The timings for a) and b) on 'cold-start' were 10 and 13 seconds respectively. On a 'warm cache' (ie) start Mozilla/shutdown/start again the timings were 3 and 11 seconds respectively. My expecation is that gnome-terminal is simpler/smaller than Mozilla and as such should startup much faster I was wondering if others saw similar ratio or is there something I might have missed Regards, Yusuf
