A review of the latest Fedora Core release, code named "Bordeaux", the Fedora Core 5, which has proven itself to be one of the best Linux distributions out there was published by LinuxForums.org. OSNews' own Fedora Core 5 review was published a few hours ago too.

I didn't deny that Firefox starts faster on Windows, just that Windows loads some stuff after loading GUI. For me it's been always slow and unresponsive for 20-30 seconds after supposedly being completly booted. Some services that Windows doesn't start before its shell are required for various apps so they load slower because they have to wait for them. In Linux systems X is started at the very end of booting process.
My problem with mouse was the fact that simple change of usb port that my mouse is connected to makes Windows look for drivers again and I can't use my mouse for about 20 seconds. I'm using a laptop so I just plug it in random port every time I want to get some work done.
When you sum it up Windows doesn't really start that fast and FC is the slowest booting distro in my experience.
