It will all depend on your hardware & precise start-up procedure. |

I have a regular desktop box with Asus P5K-VM mobo + Intel Core 2 Duo : |

Bios takes 10 s , Linux start-up (Lilo screen to login prompt) 25 s |
| 10 |
& after 'startx' KDE 3.5.10 takes 25 s incl 10 apps ; |
| 11 |
Fluxbox takes 6 s , but I have to start the apps by hand |
| 12 |
(which is very quick if you assign them to Alt-Fn keys). |

Start-up time is not that important for a desktop machine, |
| 15 |
which its user typically starts once/day while making coffee etc. |
