My experience mirrors yours. On my Athlon 650, 128M RAM, it takes fully 40 seconds longer to boot Windows 98 SE into a usable state (and I disabled all of the "silly little applets" that I could) than it does to boot Linux 2.2.18, start a plethora of services, start GDM, and log into GNOME. -- David Steinberg -o) Computer Engineering Undergrad, UBC / \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
