The bare time to boot has been 10-15 seconds before I added cups, apache and other stuff to run levels. And that's with framebuffer and bootsplash.

It's pretty much what you describe. I don't know about fast booting though, I never considered it a priority.

Re: [e-users] distrobutions
Strawberry flavour. Oh you mean distro? I'm using Mandrake now. Works OK, would be nice to have an Enlightenment based distro. It is still kind of a rough hack (using it as window manager under gtk2 desktop). Wouter.
