Linux Boots Up In 2.97 Seconds
Posted on Nov 12, 08 07:56 AM PDT
Just how fast does your operating system boot up? Most of us use Windows, and every single time we boot up Windows, we tend to spend at least a minute of our lives drumming our fingers on the desk or doing something equally worthless. Well, perhaps news of Linux-powered computer booting up within 2.97 seconds might move your heart to consider a switch? According to Lineo from Japan, this new technology is known as Warp 2 and comprises of a bootloader, a customised Linux software stack, and a 'hibernation driver' that is akin to familiar suspend-to-disk software. What sets this apart is Lineo's hibernation driver writing a snapshot of RAM into its flash memory instead of to a hard disk, hence saving multiple alternative system snapshots for a (much) quicker boot up time.
