I think the current fast boot focus on the various distros is horribly |
| 2 |
misplaced. I couldn't care less whether my machines boot in 30 seconds |
| 3 |
or 2 minutes. What I _really_ care about is that when I press the |
| 4 |
button on my laptop, it wakes up from sleep in 2 seconds or less. |

Linux is pretty bad at this. It's generally much worse than Windows, |
| 6 |
which is in turn much worse than OS X. |

So, if you really wish to make a difference in an area that others |
| 9 |
haven't dealt with as much, try improving wake from sleep or hibernate |
| 10 |
performance. |
