1. Am i first? NO
2. Will it blend? NO
3. Does that's what she said apply? YES
4. Does it play doom?
5. Is it a robot set on world domination?

Fortunate for us, step 3 and 4 are not switched.]]>Jun 20th 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/
I wish I had the money to blow on something like this just to play with it.

I very much look forward to seeing Ubuntu boot off of an intel/mitron 8 GB SSD in just two seconds... :)
That's going to be amazing.]]>Jun 20th 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/Jun 20th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/Jun 20th 2008 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/Well, no. but if you are going to talk about SSD replacements as a performance alternative to traditional hard drives, well you are talking about devices which are quite a bit more expensive than 15k SAS drives. I think most of the units I tested were in the 800USD per 32GB drive, which is considerably more costly than the 15k spinning equivalent.]]>Jun 21st 2008 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/Develope a computer that will boot to a FULL O/S desktop with email, browser and word\spreadsheet editor in under 7 seconds. The board must not exceed 1 gig of memory, no ready boost and no overclocking but SSD drives are allowed. The computer must be a single O/S run device. This eliminates the Linux mini o/s while Windows load, devices. Anyone want to add on to the spec list ? What ya all think ? Maybe Woz would want to fund this X-Prize now that he is hanging with Kathy Griffin and hacking her iPhone. ]]>Jun 20th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/
At least I think a GB is enough; worst cse, you might need to use a version or two old for that tight of constraints...]]>Jun 20th 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/Jun 20th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/

PowerShell may be a lot better than command prompt, however...

Never used one of the many Linux shells, I see.]]>Jun 22nd 2008 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/Jun 20th 2008 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/arm9-board-gets-firmware-upgrade-for-0-69-second-debian-boot-ups/Jun 20th 2008 8:29PM
