Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris The boys and girls in the Mandriva team have released Mandriva Linux 2010.0. This new Mandriva release obviously brings the latest and greatest from the open source and Linux communities, including the latest KDE and GNOME releases. Among other things, boot time has been a priority.

Why the heck

Why the heck is boot time such a big deal? Why are resources even directed in that area? I'd take stability, consistency and many other aspects of an OS as a priority over boot time. What the heck difference does it make if an OS boots in 15 seconds vs. 30 seconds???
