Is it possible to make Fedora load faster?

It is possible by using parallel loading (there is a thing on the IBM
website, but it's not for the easily scared!).

The thing you've got to remember with Ubuntu is that it really is a
minimal running Linux - if you stripped down the number of services FC
starts on power up to the same as Ubuntu, you'd find the boot up is
faster (not having to boot from CD).

Currently, I've not got that many services running on either my laptop
or this PC and it's on the desktop ready for me to use in just shy of 90
seconds - which is much faster than Ubuntu!

TTFN
