Make sure you?re not loading every little service, if you get rid of the stuff you don't need, it shall load 10x faster. Not to mention kernel, modules, etc.. -guido -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Scott Sent: Lunes, 19 de Noviembre de 2001 01:35 a.m. To: Marco Radzinschi; Doug Garrick Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 4.4 At 23:01 2001/11/18 -0500, Marco Radzinschi wrote: >I second that... bloody RedHat Linux 7 and 7.1 took 10 times as long to >boot as FreeBSD. Heh--this got me curious enough to do a very lax test--a machine where I have several O/S's installed---KII6 450 with 192 megs of Ram. Booting from RH's Grub, so I began counting after the O/S began to boot--that is, if I choose FreeBSD, first it does this chainloader thing. Lots of factors that I ignored, but, with all but Win2k booting into text mode.... Trustix Linux (a stripped down RH clone) 15 seconds FreeBSD 18 seconds Slackware 8.0 18 seconds RH 7.2 31 seconds And, the Winner--- Windows 2000 Professional 65 seconds. :) Subjectively, FreeBSD just seems faster in many ways --as if it reacts more quickly to keystrokes than any of the others.
