Quantify the result

Could he please quantify the result?

I always say to friends "get the OS that does what you want".

Booting time is not a concern to me. What is the maximum time your NIX takes to boot? 60 seconds?

My FreeBSD and Debian are always on. I have not rebooted them for over a year now.
