I sometimes hear this but I disagree that boot speed causes this to be an immediate problem. Even on laptops the system is very stable. How often do people reboot? I do so only very seldom. Definitely for kernel security upgrades and so do reboot a handful of times a year. My view is, "So it might take another few seconds ever other month." Of course for anyone who has booted a RHEL/CentOS system (just to pick a concrete example) they will be shocked to see how long it takes it to boot up or shutdown there. So I do appreciate the reboot speedups on Debian. But I don't think it should be taken to extremes. Bob
