How about going even further and solving the optimization task automatically? Create a system which would (given certain constraints) make small rearrangements in the order of services, relocate files on the disk, etc. It would then keep rebooting, timing and making more changes. Eventually converging to... <evil>Windows XP boot times</evil> :) Seriously though, I think this project is a great idea. The problem of boot times is especially pesky for laptop users. We're the ones stuck with crappy hard disks and even worse, have to reboot several times a day. The solution here might be a stable suspend-to-disk implementation. But this is not happening (yet), so thumbs up for a 10 second boot! -- Ziga
