Regulars will remember the threads re the machine I built recently. I thought they mb interested in the start-up time now all is working : Gigabyte BIOS 10 s , Linux Lilo prompt - login prompt 8 s , 'startx' - GUI ready 4 s : total 22 s + entering userid+password ; I start the I/net connection (Dhcpcd) manually from the GUI ( 15 s ). I assume most of the speed is attributable to the SSD, perhaps a bit to the 1600 MHz memory; of course, Gentoo shares the honors; my desktop manager is Fluxbox & I start apps on desktops manually.
