MeeGo Netbook Performance: It's Beating Ubuntu & Co

,----[ Quote ]
| Finally, we have our Bootchart numbers for 
| the four distributions. With Fedora 13, 
| prior to collecting the boot metrics, we set 
| the GDM to automatically login to the GNOME 
| desktop, since the three other desktops all 
| use auto-logins as well.
| 
| Fedora 13 had a boot time of 23 seconds, 
| Moblin 2.1 had a boot time of 18.45 seconds, 
| Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 came in at 17.31 
| seconds, and MeeGo had a boot time of just 
| 8.151 seconds.

Impressions of the latest MeeGo release

,----[ Quote ]
| MeeGo, in its first release, is pretty damn 
| good, and this coming from a KDE loving 
| maniac! It used to be Maemo, all Gtk in the 
| backend, but now it is MeeGo with Qt (v4.6) 
| as its backend now with a really nice MeeGo 
| API as well. With MeeGo using Qt, KDE apps 
| and Qt apps integrate nicely. What I donât 
| get is this, why in the hell are all of the 
| Apps Gtk-based then? Chromium, OK I can 
| understand, it is an amazing browser, and my 
| browser of choice right now. Banshee? I 
| think Amarok would have been a better app 
| for media. Evolution? Oh hell no! I would 
| rather they ship Mutt. You want me to say 
| KMail or Kontact donât you? Well I wonât, 
| just yet. If I used POP3 for email, then 
| yes, KMail/Kontact for the win! But seeing 
| as I am lazy and use GMailâs IMAP settings, 
| KMail needs help here. Thunderbird seems 
| like a good choice, but for what I am 
| guessing to be as a netbook operating system 
| for those who arenât hardcore mostly, I 
| would think KMail/Kontact would be perfect. 
| You canât beat Kontactâs tight integration, 
| you canât, so donât even try to argue that. 
| Empathy is nice and light, so I understand 
| it, even though I do not like it. I would 
| have loved to have seen Kopete here, 
| especially with its Skype plugin.
| 
| Overall though, I am still impressed with 
| MeeGo, though I donât think it is my 
| replacement for the KDE Plasma Netbook 
| Workspace. I think it is a perfectly fine 
| solution for many though, and I am excited 
| to see the ongoing work that is going into 
| it. I know a few of the developers and I 
| know they will be doing an amazing job on it 
| in the future, especially as it starts 
| getting on the more mobile devices out 
| there. It uses Yum/RPM, which took me a few 
| minutes to get used to again, but package 
| management was as fast as I am used to when 
| using APT or some other Debian package 
| manager.
| 
| Good job MeeGo devs, and keep up the good 
| work! I am fairly certain my review here 
| sucked, so if you have any questions, please 
| do not hesitate to ask them in the comments 
| section, or email me at nixternal AT gmail 
| DOT com, or even hit me up on IRC (freenode) 
| as nixternal.
