Hi everybody!

boot time depends on your hardware and your kernel configuration. you
would have faster boot if you have a customized compact kernel. I have TL
Linux 6.0, FreeBSD 4.3 and Win98SE on one machine.  my boot times are as
follows:

FreeBSD:  12 sec :)
TL Linux:  15 sec :)
Win98SE:  64 sec :<
