At work I compared a PIII 450 running Slackware 8.1 with a P4 2.2 running Win2k. The KDE desktop on the slow Slackware box was faster there then the Win2K desktop. But you are right that Win XP boots significantly faster. I guess this depends a lot on the distro (I also have the impression that Suse boots especially slow). You can probably disable some stuff when Suse boots. have a look at kde/share/Autostart and move away the desktop files you don't need, then all these things won't be started when KDE starts (I always create a folder "DontAutostart" where I move these files to). Also have a look whether you need all system services which are started on Suse. Another idea would be to delay some things during booting, so that the display manager (KDM) is started and when it is running start the remaining system services (httpd, smbd, rpcd, portmapper, ...) > In other words Linux/KDE keeps you waiting more than two times longer than > Windows 2003. > > Question > --------- > What about Linker Version scripts?
