So is it crashing that you are worried about? My main, though unstated,
point was that, at least in my opinion, time for bootup is not a concern in
the Linux world. I think our concern has more to do with making a safe,
secure, unbreakable computing environment. Because of the name - Beefy
Miracle - I don't think we care about the time it takes to boot up as long
as it works. It's just my opinion, and I could be wrong.
