I'd be shocked to find any machine on which that is true considering my
KUbuntu install boots to the desktop faster than XP as measured in minutes.
Vista is well
The way I see it, Vista might boot a lil' faster, but it's worth the wait for
Debian. It might be a bit embarrassing to have Vista boot faster, but at
least you don't have to be embarrassed after it's up and runningunlike
Vista.
Just my humble opinion. Debian ROCKS.

That's after countless of s2disk :-)
Wow...had no idea. So badly want a portable.
s2disk works on desktops as well. And s2ram too (tho it doesn't work
on mine).
