Editorial To me, it's a miracle how every tiny article on OSNews.com, or any other tech-site, ends up in people shouting all sorts of nonsense at each other like "Linux is gonna bring back Elvis", "Windows shot president Kennedy", "Linux kept the cold war cold" or "Bill Gates wants to buy the moon and charge people for looking at it". Do these people really know what they are saying, or are they just going with the Open-Source flow? Update: Rebuttal article here.

Re: Slow boot.

Most distro's have a gui which will allow them to select which services run on boot, and they generally have a good description of what the service is. (And others are plain obvious, a desktop box doesn't generally need pcmcia drivers loading)
