Kubuntu on Apple. The good and the bad.

| OS X has a much faster boot up time, but after you have booted up,
| regular programs started up slow. Macs do have an advantage here
| in that when you open a program - the program leaves a trail that
| OS X commits to memory for that session - then when you reopen the
| same program, the program starts much faster.
|
| Kubuntu, on the other hand, takes about three minutes to boot. Once
| it boots, though, the programs are comparatively snappy. This was
| especially true with Open Office 2.0 which has a notoriously long
| startup on any platform. With OS X it takes about one minute before
| it becomes usable, with Kubuntu, it was about 30 seconds. Though,
| there is no speed gain on reopening of programs like on OS X.
