Hello,

I thought I'd start a new poll about the boot time / shutdown time.

The rules are :

Boot -> start counting when you power on your PC and stop when you have a full desktop

Shutdown -> start counting when you select and confirm shut down and stop when all the lights are out on your PC

Mine boots in 1min05s and shuts down in 25s. Not bad.

boot time, from grub menu selection to login, is about 25-35 seconds on both my desktops, and about 35-40 on my laptop.

25 seconds to get to the openbox desktop and 10 seconds shutdown on a 1gz 160gb 512mb ram system.

It is interesting that boot is way shorter when I boot from Corsair USB stick then from seagate 7200 16 cache. On paper, HDD is at least double faster.

55 seconds to boot up and 16 secs to shut down. This is on a Compaq Laptop.

I've heard people say Jaunty boots up faster and I'm not complaining. But I wish I had timed it on Hardy as I dont recall it being particularly slow for me either. Anyone got a compare boot up time for Hardy or Jaunty? Just curious.

You guys should be using Bootchart to time these. It's much more accurate and gives you a cool picture detailing the time it took for each portion of the boot sequence. Then, you can attach them to your post!

How fast? haven't a clue, don't sit over it with a stopwatch.

No "fast enough" option in poll so couldn't vote.
