Don't use Fedora Core 
Use a distribution that allows you to select a faster boot method.
I seriously doubt it is one of Fedora's business goals to make it boot faster. Fedora is a test bed for RedHat Enterprise and RH is a server OS where boot speed isn't interesting.
Go for a distribution which isn't governed by business goals and that supports using initng or some similar method for "fast boots". |

d.olen: CrabFire boots in under 10s from power-up.
OpenFirmware takes a few seconds to reach the prompt.. |

Hello,
My fully loaded MorphOS desktop shows up just in three seconds, withdrawn the 5 seconds boot delay set in SmartFirmware.
MorphOS - always quicker !  |

Crabfire
I doubt it will load that much faster, everything of course depends on which services you have enabled, the more the slower startup. Use chkconfig to turn off the services you don't use. |

Does chkconfig has a gui?
I´ll check it out, I doubt however that it can be made to boot faster than Gunne´s morphos since I think it´s about 3-4 second just to load the nvidia Gfx driver. |

I did some measurements on my asus/athlon64_3400/S-ATA: (maybe twice the power of Pegasos II?)
Windows XP SP2 bootup time from grub menu: 55 s (+5 with some stuff loaded while desktop is usable)
Fedora Core 3 with allmost nothing installed except the distro /no server/no develpment: 2m29s (not counting the time for logging in)
Adding my A4000/040/25: (say 2% the power of my PC?)
AmigaOS 3.1 with some xtra candy like MCX/CyberGFX/MUI: 32s from pressing the powerbutton. |

My Gentoo boots in 50s flat on a 2GHz amd64 and that is without parallell startup or initng. If you aren't happy with Fedora, switch distribution.
If you strip away functionality from Linux in order to make it on-par with AmigaOS or MorphOS I'm sure you will see similar results in terms of boot-time, responsiveness and usability |

| I don't know about Fedora, never used it. But I had RedHat Enterprise Edition preinstalled on my computer when I got it and it was really slow to boot, since Fedora and RedHat has a lot of things in common I think the same goes for Fedora. I later installed an other distribution on the computer and it booted a lot faster. |

@d.olen
GUI for chkconfig, you must be kidding... why does all windows-fags need GUI for everything?
You loose usability when adding GUI to chkconfig
If it takes you over 2 mins to boot into FC3, then something is really screwed with your installation, don't even take that time to boot up my server, which has a lot more services started during boot time than Redhat has default. Disabling IPv6 can in some case make big difference. An upgrade to FC4 couldn't be bad either, or just wait a bit more and then upgrade to FC5. |

Maybe I shall try my Ubuntu 5.1 cd.
And about the GUI thing, I have not taken the time yet to learn the linux commands. So I need a gui or some hours of education!
Maybe Ubuntu is fancy enough for that effort. A few years of active windows-use makes you lazy! Everything is just flying from any media to everywhere on the HD and when it does´nt work you´re clueless. |

@d.olen
command line commands are quite easy to use, specially when they usualy come with a manual page
man chkconfig
and you can read how to use the command, it takes you max 5 minutes to figure out how to use chkconfig, but of course that requires reading skills |
