I have installed Fedora Core 5 on my HP nx6120 Laptop. It looks faster
and stable than previous releases.
1. Faster booting - it takes 60 seconds to get login screen.
2. Faster GNOME - takes 4 seconds to get desktop from gdm.
I rarely shutdown my laptops, I just put it in standby mode (suspend to
ram) or hibernate (suspend to disk). You can leave all your apps running.
IMO, remembering last used state is essential for any kind of machine, I
don't want to start with a blank screen every time I boot up. The Firefox
Session Saver extension is indispensable.
The machines typically lasts atleast 36hrs on batteries in standby mode.
Waking up from standby, my laptop becomes usable (including network
access) in ~5 seconds, and it comes back with Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.
in exactly the same state when I put it to sleep.
Waking up from hibernation it reaches usable state is 20-25 seconds.
