Boot Up Times - Lets See
I am making this thread to see people's boot up times on different OSs and their pc configs. We will be discussing about boot up times for the moment you press the power button to the moment you pc usage is 1% or may be fluctuating to 2%. You can check that in Windows Task Manager/Performance.
So we will be discussing and helping each other to make our computers a nicer place to login to.
Quote:
My Os - Xp Sp2
Proc - Intel centrino duo 1.73
Ram - 1gb ddr2 667
Hdd - 5400rpm Seagate
AV - Avast 6 Free Edition
|
So All i need to do now is restart. And please record ur time untill ur proc show 0% usage and its stable there.
Peace~~~!

Nothing much. Avira is perhaps the only thing which loads at start-up.

Yeah 3 years back I was using AVG which by the way crashed everytime i inserted a worm ridden pendrive....So i switched to Avira Antivir which was ok and i used it for a year with only 1 xp reinstallation but i did find it crashing too with pendrives injecting in worms. So switched to Avast and have been using it for 2 years with only 1 mysterious reinstallation. It crashed a few days back mysteriously and I dont know the reason as my drunk friends dont want to tell me the reason why it did. I think they were watching some weird pornography online and later when i switched up it in the morning i just saw a blue screen. So hail Avast because its AVAST 6 with sandbox and free and it is so pir*cy compatible(Does not delete keygens or cracked files[sweetness])...happiness in sadness.
Yeah i have many things opening up when windows boot up...I am sure i can do bootup in 35secs. If i remove Hp wireless assistant, bluetooth, hamachi, panda usb vaccine, razer deathadder driver.
Peace~~~!
Peace out~~~!

Re: Boot Up Times - Lets See
Mine 10.10 boots in 50 seconds (15s to GRUB and 30-35s to complete boot up). Not sure what's wrong though, sometime ago with 10.04 it used to boot in 15-20s (plus 15s) for me.

No use.
Arch is actually for experienced Linux users. You start with command-line and then set-up everything manually.

Laptop switched on.
Acer and BIOS screen. [POST - Common for everyone]
Boot-loader menu which asks me whether to boot in Linux or Windows. [I start from here]
Desktop loads fully. [I stop here]
If I'll follow your way, it will also include the time taken to POST which varies from hardware to hardware.
