Well... my pc is not a server :)
It's a laptop and I need to turn it on and off many times a day.
For example today I used it 5 times in different places...
What I wonder is the reason that MacOSX boots in less than 20 sec beeing
based on Unix and on a kernel and Ubuntu doesn't. It makes me strange...
shouldn't be almost the same?
I think that the desktop in MacOSX is even more heavy to load..
By the way... My XP installation (now that is installed from 6 months)
takes more time than Ubuntu to load completely.
Yust a question... Are we looking to compete win or with mac? :)
