I just got a report from someone today that analized the boot times of all of the currently released distros, and MeeGo was the fastest. > The booting process has been analyzed by many peoples the last > couple of years.

Agreed, it didn't have much to do about SSE3, but when the accelerated graphics portion takes over, _that_ is the part it shows up. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
