General Software Discussion / Re: What is your boot time?
« on: November 23, 2008, 06:41 PM »unless you have a really sucky DHCP server, you're not going to shave even a second off your boot timeHmm, are you calling my DHCP server "sucky" f0dder? Anyway, in theory, I'd tend to agree with you on that point, but in practice, I've seen a definite improvement by assigning a static IP instead. Besides, on a home network with just a handful of PC connected, it's not a bad idea to have static IPs for each one-f0dder (November 23, 2008, 12:28 PM)
why do people obsess over boot time, anyway?Again, this is very personal. It may not matter to you, but it doesn't mean it can't matter for anyone, right? In my case, when I want to start using my PC, I want to start using my PC *now* or at least in a few seconds, not in 5 minutes. Imagine if each time you're going to use your car (I don't have a car, btw, but the example is good ), you'd have to wait for a few minutes until the car "boots up". To some people it wouldn't matter, but I'm sure others would find it very annoying.-f0dder (November 23, 2008, 12:28 PM)
