Same here, about 20 seconds, which makes it a total of 45 seconds from off to login box. Talking about windows, I run windows using win4lin. When I click on the icon to run windows it takes 15 seconds to come up with the "Enter the network password" box and another 10 seconds for the full load and the busy hourglass to disappear. (windows 98) My server is a AMD K6-450 basically less powerful than most desktop computers. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber Inc.
