Re: [BLUG] Improving the boot time

It is interesting.

On a personal note, I have all my machines configured in such a manner
so as to slow down the boot. -- As a security precaution I have all
the RAM on all my machines scanned at boot-time. I actively discourage
people from using the "QuickBoot" BIOS options.

Cheers,
Steven Black
