Well, on my netbook it has been spectacularly unsuccessful.  The boot time is 
horrifically long.  It seems that it first tries to bring up my wireless 
connection, failing miserably, then it tries to mount my 3 defined nfs mounts.  
Two of them are always available, one is not always.  Instead of a reasonably 
short wait time, then moving on, it seems to wait a very long time.  If 
anyone's interested I'll time it.  Failing gracefully is something it needs to 
learn.
