I sold my TV some months ago, so I cant boot up my Amiga1200 right now... but im sure it took less than 5 seconds till Workbench (a graphical OS) is ready to use... all while running on a measy 50MHz

i remember the Tandy Colour Computer would be an instant on running at a mere .8 Mhz with a ROM to boot form as well as the Commodore 16 amongst others


aaaahhhh how the cpu sped have increased over the years to amazing speeds and the boot times have slowed oh so much

pretty cool but it wont load wireless support sound support in that little of time i bet.

The article seems to indicate that Network Manager was running at the end of 5 seconds.

Does sound really need to be available immediately after bootup?

I would love to have a 5-second bootup to a usable desktop and then have sound load by the time (i.e., later) I had launched an application that used sound.

I hate those "log-in screen ready" and "we're logging you in now" noises anyway.

Thats not a graphical multitasking OS tough

Commandline-prompt would be pretty much instant-on aswell.
