FreeBSD sh + Gentoo baselayout = cold boot in around 4 seconds Going to multi-user from single user after a boot is under 2 seconds (times measured from when init starts rc - the difference is probably because the all my local mounts are still mounted) I have this running on a 2Ghz P4 Laptop right now. Admittedly, no network scripts are started expect for the loopback interface, but all default scripts + openvpn, ssh, dnsmasq, metalog and vixie-cron are started. Ladies and gentlemen, this has always been about one thing - speed. Ever since I got my 300Mhz Sparc64 to play around with FreeBSD, I've realised that baselayout + bash is just too damn slow. I think that's worth it. Thanks Roy -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
