RAM and a SSD make a big difference…
Cool! I wish I have a stop watch, then I can post mine also in
you tube and link it here.
Mine boots in roughly 10 seconds, give or take.
Still not super bad for using HDD’s as opposed to SSD’s
I have a recent Dell 660 with 8 GB of Ram and its CPU is a core i5; a Terabyte HD. Bootup with Windows 8.1 is about 12.5 seconds.

I’ve got 8.1 running under VMware that’ll do a 12.3 boot time. VM is only
allocated 1GB of memory and 1 core. Fastest Win8.1 I’ve seen is on a Vaio
laptop core i7, 8GB, SSD at 8.7 secs.
At home I have an old Lenovo core 2 duo 1.8Ghz, 4GB memory with SSD that’ll
post in the 8’s running OpenSUSE 13.1.
These are all times to get to the login prompt.

Hi
I auto login, so that adds a few seconds. The actual power on to post
bios seems to be the bulk of the delay. Now that the add the
critical-chain option, it’s nice to be able to see what is
actually/potentially slowing things down.
One wonders if you offline some cores on shutdown and boot from only a
couple then online the rest of them later if that would speed things
up even more… I need to get myself an i5 or i7 system…

Whats funny is that on my system everything seems to boot pretty quick despite the fact I dont use SSD’s, on my win7 it also boots surprisingly fast in about 20 secs (win 7 can take up to a full minute to boot on some other systems)
So I must be doing something right, maybe its my seagate drive I dont know.
Hi
My HP 2000 boots in around the same time as you with SLED and openSUSE, it has a rotating 320GB drive @ 6Gbps, Windows 8.1 take around 40 seconds as I don’t keep it in cache (as in do a full shutdown). Drive speed, amount of RAM, cpu power all makes a difference. It use to be nice to start the computer, go make a coffee and come back to login…

My desktop boot time measures in minutes. Most of the delay is starting
services. On the other hand, restore from hibernation is much faster,
leaving me on the exact point I was previously, with all my applications
opened.
I just switch it on and go make tea. When I come back, all is ready, it
even downloaded messages (which can be slow in my slow internet).

I’m think I’m going to switch to gnomo…
Well for me openSUSE is on my western digital caviar green WD10EAVS-00M4B0 with only 8 megs of disk cache and speeds up to 54000 RPM, but in terms of speed under openSUSE 13.1 64bit it feels no different then my seagate barracuda ST1000DM003-1CH162 with 64 megs of cache and speeds up to 72000 RPM.
Even with win 7 to bog it down my seagate is an awesome drive, thus why its my windows drive as I dont have the jitter with windows like I used to on it.
Its actually why I am dual booting again, it gave win 7 new life.

Make that 5400 and 7200 RPM

Yeah typos, sorry.
Hi!
how would be a minimum-install gnomo? I want to give a try! seems to me **Gnomo **a bit lighter than KDE…
tia!

Hi
A fresh install or along with another DE? If a fresh install I use the
LiveCD version, which may be worth trying first. Else use the default
gnome desktop pattern…

Hi
Not sure, it may work. I would suggest booting the livecd to give it a
better try with your system, rather than breaking/interfering with the
KDE install.

Wow, hate to say this but trying the new Ubuntu 14.04 beta on my seagate and its lightning compared to any other OS I have used on this machine.
Its a real speed demon, I mean holy cow is it lightning.
5 secs holy crud!
Though fast bootups dont make good systems I have to give Ubuntu credit here.
I wonder if I can speedboost openSUSE now.
dude…in my case I can sleep while **openS **boots!
