First, the Openmoko devices are way slower than the presented device. Second, it depends on your definition of "booting". What this demo does is reading a kernel from somewhere and launching into a one-process userland, most likely skipping any init processes. They don't initialize slow peripherals such as a modem nor show a launcher. Our Linux (as in kernel) boots in a handful of seconds as well. Right now most distributions use sysvinit, which is the reason why it takes a couple of more minutes after booting to show a "desktop". Witha proper replacement, (such as my pet-project fso-boot), I'm sure we can get to 30 seconds until PIN dialog as well – which IMO would be quite amazing given the hardware. (FWIW, on my HTC Dream w/ Zhone2 it's 10 seconds until PIN dialog – no X though, just framebuffer). :M: _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
