Analysis: Will Ubuntu Take Windows 7 In Speed War?
,----[ Quote ]
| One potential key to the Ubuntu community's
| goal of a 10-second boot time is its
| technology called "Upstart," which the
| community describes as "an event-based
| replacement" for its current boot
| management code, which will handle
| "starting of tasks and services during
| boot, stopping them during shutdown and
| supervising them while the system is
| running." In the Windows ecosystem,
| Microsoft and PC makers have approached the
| boot-time issue in a number of disparate
| ways and approaches, including so-called
| "instant on" technology as well as
| hibernation and other similar features.
| Upstart will be baked right into Ubuntu,
| and Lucid Lynx will provide the first, best
| look at how it all does. We decided to give
| it a whirl with the Alpha version.
| Installed on a PC built with an Intel Core
| 2 Duo E7400 at 2.80 GHz and 2 GB of RAM,
| Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 1 produced a boot time
| of 20 seconds. While that's twice as much
| time as Shuttleworth is shooting for, it's
| still pretty good. When Windows 7 Ultimate
| was installed on the same PC, it registered
| a 30-second boot time. (For measure, we
| also installed Fedora 12 Linux on the PC,
| and it took a little longer than Windows 7,
| but with more security features to load.)

| If you have just upgraded and have an old
| PC or laptop lying around then I strongly
| recommend before you get rid of your old
| machine that you install Ubuntu and give it
| a try. I think you will be very pleased and
| very impressed. I know I was.

Ubuntu Remix vs Chrome OS
,----[ Quote ]
| I like to use Ubuntu Remix more than Chrome
| OS in a netbook environment. No Doubts,
| Chrome OS is much faster than Ubuntu Remix,
| even Ubuntu Remix is already optimised for
| Intel Atom. I like it, because that is a OS
| with full features. In some situations, for
| example, I am on a travel in the rural area,
| or in a hotel room with a daily internet over
| $20 per day, I do not prefer to have a
| netbook always online.
