For some strange reason I’ve been seeing a lot of articles lately about how Linux boots. One I just read is about how to make it boot faster. While I find this tend interest novice users more than anyone else (experienced linux users tend to either not turn it off or just don’t care) they still provide an amusing read that sometimes lets you get a sneak peak inside of Linux and its Kernel. This article did not.
Lets go down the list:
- Worthless – Totally aimed at servers not desktops. Who shuts down servers anyway? And when they do get rebooted odds are you’ll be using sendmail and httpd anyway, at least on a Linux box as a home server.
- Worthless – I have money that says you won’t even be able to tell the difference with a stop watch much less your perception.
- Worthless – If your normal, odds are if you are using Gnome or KDE you like Gnome or KDE and aren’t going to switch.
- Worthless – Same reason as above.
- Worthless – Same reason as above.
- Maybe – …but I doubt it. That sounds like a scary proposition to me. Last I checked the compatible hardware list was short too.
- Maybe – …but I doubt it. Odds are you probably don’t have much choice on this one. Especially if you don’t have a router and I’m guessing a lot of people still don’t.
- Worthless – Again with the servers. If you’ve ever used a thumb drive you’ll need it.
- Worthless – You’re not and you know it.
- Worthless – Because no one runs Debian and no one like a hack, especially on a server.
Enjoy the Penguins!
