It was kind of tough to decide whether to put this thread here or fast threads, but I thought you guys would be more interested in this. Just follow the format below.
Boot (from the moment I pressed the power button to the time the login prompt comes up):
24.3 seconds
Login (from the moment you enter your password to the moment your last startup program comes up):
5.7 seconds
System:
Ubuntu (minimal install) on an Eee 1005HAB
Just booted up my old laptop which originally ran on Windows ME (since then I've installed Windows XP)
Compaq Armada 110 :v:
50.9 from the moment I pressed the power button to the time the login prompt comes up
How exactly do you get so accurate results?
Stopwatch. It actually goes beyond that, but I only trust by reflexes to +/- 0.1 seconds.
[QUOTE=Tools;25923515]How exactly do you get so accurate results?[/QUOTE]
Using a stopwatch.
If only I had my ChromeOS netbook, it's pretty much 10 seconds for the whole thing.
I know, Chrome is crazy fast. Too bad all it can do is browse the web.
I would, but I honestly don't want to reboot my computer.
From power button to boot: 21.3 seconds.
Power button to off: 5.4 seconds.
:smug:
From powerbutton to last start app: 34 sec.
I don't do login screens:smug:
server 2003: 36 seconds
Arch Linux: 22 seconds
5.71 seconds from power button pressed to being completely logged in. SSD RAID 7, EFI, W7 Ultimate stripped
Windows 7 HDD about 0:40-1:20 till usable as in on desktop and not lagging
RAID 7 looks confusing.

I win? :smug:
20 seconds from power button to windows desktop.
thank god for my little ssd boot drive.
67 secs
I have a bad HDD
Brb.
also I've got a debian machine that boots in 14 on a regular old jbod
POSTing for me takes easily half of my boot time. It's fucking annoying.

my old video card added a little screen displaying information about it right before POST and it added a good fifteen seconds to my boot time

I remember those.

Probably would've started up a LOT faster if you didn't have all that shit running in the background. (The weird clocks, etc.)

It does on mine to, after I hit the power button it takes a good 20-30 seconds before I hear the all okay beep. After that I am to the login screen in ~10 seconds.

Same for me, after i see the motherboard splash screen it's on desktop and usable in about 40 sec.
15.24 seconds... W7 Ultimate 64bit, and a 500GB Western Digital HDD

What exactly did you "strip"? I'm getting a new hard drive soon, and I want to get the best boot time.
i wait for an array, a raid controller and PCI-E SSD to initialize and they all have their own little POST menu, so I end up waiting quite a bit (1-2 minutes plus)
my system's performance is pretty shmick though
yeah since I only reboot like once every couple of eons the startup time doesn't matter a whole lot to me. actual performance is more important to me.
i am also in that boat
