</div></div>Hi Richard,<br>
<br>
I need to reboot/power-off mainly for 2 reasons:<br>
1. I have a dual-boot system (Linux+Win)<br>
2. The battery of my laptop has low capacity<br>
<br>
For what concerns the 1min and 38sec, it's not an infinity but IMHO is<br>
a very long time if I compare it with F16 (that was installed on the<br>
same laptop).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

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.</div>
