Linpus Linux To Launch QuickOS Next Week
,----[ Quote ]
| During the CeBit conference in Germany, Linpus Technologies is set to
| introduce Linpus QuickOS, which is their new quick booting Linux
| distribution. According to the information we have received, QuickOS boots in
| a speedy manner due to "fine-tuning and maximizing software performance for
| less powerful hardware platforms" and removing unneeded Linux libraries.

| processors, so it will be available for very cheap netbooks. HyperSpace is a
| Linux-based OS which boots very fast, so you it's an almost "instant-on"
| Operating System.

| netbooks with its Arm-based i.MX515 processors, which the company introduced

| an Asus spin-off, at the show.

Splashtop: boot into Linux in just five seconds
,----[ Quote ]
| I have a quad-core CPU, super-fast hard disks and heaps of RAM
| – Linux is already pretty darn nippy if you ask me!
|
| Perhaps. But, let's face it: if it takes more than 30
| seconds to get from pressing the power button to you
| reading your email, that's 30 seconds you could have
| spent chatting to the pretty lady in the cubicle next
| to you, reading the latest XKCD comic or – most
| importantly of all – basking in the glow of the
| most recent issue of Linux Format magazine.

Splashtop moves into netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| The Splashtop instant-on Linux environment is included in the new Lenovo
| IdeaPad S10e netbook, marking the product's first appearance in that form
| factor. That news should come as no surprise, since netbooks'
| ultra-portability is a natural match for Splashtop's instant-on.

| Splashtop is not the only possibility for achieving a fast-booting Linux
| environment. At the Linux Plumbers' Conference in October, Arjan van de Ven
| and Auke Kok demonstrated booting two heavily modified Linux systems in less
| than five seconds -- including a Moblin system image on an Asus Eee PC
| netbook.

Linux boots in 2.97 seconds
,----[ Quote ]
| Japanese embedded Linux house Lineo has announced a quick-start technology
| that it claims can boot Linux in 2.97 seconds on a low-powered system. The
| technology appears similar to but much faster than Linux's
| existing "suspend-to-disk" capability.

Booting Debian in 14 seconds
,----[ Quote ]
| Many readers will have heard about Arjan van de Ven and Auke Kok's work to
| boot an ASUS Eee 901 in 5 seconds. Inspired by this work, and because I have
| the same laptop, I decided to try to reproduce their results. So far I have
| not come very close to their 5 seconds, but I have made some significant
| improvements compared to the default boot time for Debian on that machine;
| this article describes what I've done.
