There's a virtual trophy here, and it goes to the person with the fastest boot time.
Write it like this.

I hardly ever boot, but I do sometimes reboot because of fresh kernel installs.
Never as vast as they promise, I'm guessing at least a minute [desktop pc, 4 core cpu, 4gig memory].

There is a BootChart (http://www.bootchart.org/) thread here somewhere [too lazy to look it up], where you can see boot up times including statistics.

EDIT: here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=531453) it is.

My 10.10 used to boot in about 25 seconds (Samsung R469, dual core 3 gs of ram), but after fiddling around lately (mostly reinstalling some kernels and booting and rebooting, installing and uninstalling bootchart) somehow it now boots in around 10s-15s, I have no idea what I did, but it is cool.

edit: 35 secs for ubuntu and about 1:20 for windows 7....

The same computer that can boot in 7-13 seconds would take almost a minute to boot Windows. Talk about an improvement.

I espacially love how long the shutdown takes. In Ubuntu after i hit enter after the halt command its off after 3 seconds. Windows 7 needs minimum 30 seconds to log off...save the user data....shutdown....until its finally off.

Windows 7 doesn't even let me shut down sometimes :(

I'm used to not closing my windows and just shutting down. I vaguely remember Windows having a fit about this.

I would ditch windows right away if my games would not run so smooth on it. i tried pretty much everything, but in the end the same game which runs perfectly on windows lags ballz in linux. it even had a linux version of the game...what surprised me - linux version and windows version under wine lagged exactly the same. So i guess its the driver for my (stupid) onboard graphics.
