5 seconds to a full desktop is impressive. They also claim they're loading enough modules to cover 95% of all laptops, which would be even more impressive - I assumed they stripped out huge amounts of hardware compatibility when they optimized the kernel.

This thread makes me want to move my old Vaio running Xubuntu over to Fedora...
