well, there's the battery start too. I agree that when its empty and you plug it, it takes a few moments before it decides to boot. But i don't think its all that bad, either, since its not meant to be booted up all that much.

Hmmm... Sounds like a good goal for Fremantle, doesn't it?
(Realistically, it can't happen before then, because Nokia really doesn't want to jump kernel versions for no good reason. They won't think this is a good reason.)

If it can boot in 5 seconds, why not do it?

Wow, I thought the lwn article was quite interesting. It would be great to be able to boot in five seconds, even without networking.
Couldn't this affect the power-usage of booting and make turning off your tablet a more viable thing to do? It is said never to turn off your tablet, and I only turn mine off when I change batteries, mainly, but it would be nice to get rid of that rule.

(More generally, this could be applied at every mount/unmount.)

I understand the reasons why cards have to be reindexed at every mount, just unhappy with the cost of the current implementation.

Does Arjen include the GUI? Or was it like XFce?

I think we should bug this:http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/
Booting in 5 seconds.
Shouldn't we?
