Maybe they exist, but that is not my > experience with common hardware. At FOSDEM they demonstrated 2 seconds for kernel + userspace. Userspace being GDM. The initialization of the presenter took longer than the kernel+userspace bit, so they had to use a camera to actually show this. The firmware on that laptop took about 7 seconds. As Lennart mentioned elsewhere, new laptops must do less than 2 seconds to get that nice Windows logo, some do 0.5 seconds. So laptop booting to GDM in 2.5 - 4 seconds after pressing the power button is realistic. 350MB video of the presentation: http://video.fosdem.org/2013/maintracks/Janson/systemd,_Two_Years_Later.webm The demonstration is at the beginning. -- Regards, Olav -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
