Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris I have been using Linux since 1993. I installed the first version of Slackware on a 16MB 386sx-25. Since then I have been using it almost exclusively on one or more of my PCs. So I consider myself as a bit of an expert. I have been using computers since 1982 mostly PCs, but also VAX mainframes and SPARC systems. Operating systems (and GUIs) I have been using include CP/M, DOS, Windows from Version 2 to XP, Geos, Beos, SCO Unix, Solaris, OS/2 and quite a few Linux Distros.

23 seconds to boot???

How in the world does he have it booting to the desktop in 23 seconds? Is that from the time he pushes the power button? I must have something very wrong going on as I have a Athlon XP 1800+ and starting from the time the bootloader kicks in it's at least 1.5 minutes to the KDE desktop...
