Linsux and Winbloze - There is no decent operating system for the PC!

The only reason you probably realized that it was taking "forever" to load was because it's showing you exactly what's happening. Kernel messages tell you if everything boots okay. As with Windows it's a complete secret because they give you the loading screen that just shows a progress bar.

It's never worked for me, but apparently if you press the SHIFT key while that splash screen is displayed, it'll disapear. It's never worked though. I read that in the help files of Winguides Tweak Manager.

Nope. You have to edit c:\msdos.sys, and add a line called Splash=o to it. Can't remember what section, though.

No, I am not joking. My XP install is working perfectly right now, and has been for a while. Of course, I do not use it as much as my mac or redhat box, and that might have something to do with it.

Okay, everyone seems to be quoting me on the booting up part. My ideal is simple if you have something to read then you "feel" like it's taking "FOREVER!" But if you have something nice and pretty to look at going back and forth or something then you are like wow that went by fast... I think you should try to time which goes faster you might be surprised or you might prove me wrong both of which I don't care.
Oh and have you ever realized how long it takes Windows to run the start up applications? Gee whiz. You can't just start using your computer right away because you are waiting for all your applications to load... That always made me mad because I always had to wait an extra like 30 seconds to a minute sometimes more for that...

Fedora has a nice little screen like XP when its booting up. I prefer to see what is loading, and the status as it loads though. I am also under the impression that even though windows gets to the desktop quickly, it still has to load a bunch of other shit, like those items you have in the start up folder, and all the items that show in the task bar next the clock. When linux boots to the desktop its ready to use, windows is not. Get it.
