Ubuntu aims for a 10 second boot time

[anon]

Improved boot times for operating times is a topic that comes up now and then. Ubuntu's developer team has now set a new target, one of the most aggressive ones we are aware of, promising a 10 second startup time for Ubuntu 10.04, code-named karmic+1.

The goal was announced in a post by Canonical's Scott James Remnant within the Ubuntu developer mailing list, referring to a "a generic, hardware agnostic,
non-stripped down Linux distribution." Remnant said that the 10 second time may just be a starting point and that the software can be fine tuned by hardware vendors to fit specific hardware configurations, which would allow them to "match Moblin's 5s benchmark on similar hardware."

nice, but i'd rather wait for another 10 seconds if they would fix user friendliness and some things that win users take for granted
