    Well why not figure out how to recover from that crash, and then install debian? No harm is learning new stuff. If you are on ext2 boot from a floppy and fsck it. :-)

    nope it really works...all my services start up at the same time now.

    whoa, that sounded like a 15 y/o wrote that (no offense to 15 y/o's). I meant that some people have said that some services might require others to start correctly.

    As an example I am running dhcp, and apache, yet both services start correctly even though the interfaces are still in the process of coming online. This has smoothed things out greatly for me (ymmv).

    FWIW I'm running Mandrake.

  5. it's easy to speed up boot on Boot Process Visualization · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I added a '&' to my /etc/rc file.
    like so:
    $i start&

    I have been berated a coupdl times in online forum because 'some services might need it to start properly', but I have never noticed any ill effects. My machines now boots in about 6 seconds :-D

    Actually something ore akin to the Mac's preferences file would probably work a lot better than a registry-type of system would.

    Wil, can you test something out for me? Write some random offtopic post, and see if you get modded +5. Maybe even just write a bunch of odd letters. ;-)

    My company moved to OpenOffice.org and people complained like mad that they were having problems. Until...we put shortcuts to Write and Calc on their desktop and renamed the shortcuts to "Word" and "Excel". The complaints literally vanished overnight.
