You would be shocked at how fast some of my old servers for which I
compiled kernels boot... We're talking about hardware over 10 years old
and it puts any modern desktop with ubuntu installed to shame. System
boots and is at a log in prompt before my desktop has even finished with
intitramfs.
Alas, I have discovered with age and wisdom, after having gone through
"look how leet my fast booting linux boxes are" phase, that having
systems (and backps thereof) which can be ported to any hardware
'agnosticly' on a moments notice trumps boot time.
