I compared Windows XP and RHL 9 on a Dell Laptop (C610)

Can we see a copy of /var/log/bootlog to see what all was started during
boot up?
Login 8 21
Is this runlevel 5 login, or console login and startx?
Def Browser 1 7
Word 2k 4 6
Open Office 10 21
I don't think these are apples->apples.
Here is why:
1) Default browser: are they different browsers? Mozilla is available on
both platforms, use that then compare.
2) I take it Word 2k is done in Crossover?
3) Open Office loads the needed guts for most of Open Office, whereas
W2k only opens W2k.
1. If Open Source writes better software; then why is it fatter and
slower?
One does not require the other.
And finally, how was the timing done. Are we talking wall clock or what?
