Hmm...maybe because Macs use UNIX? I also found that Ubuntu shutsdown very fast (around 5-10 seconds).

Ubuntu was pretty slow for me. 2.2 ghz amd 64 x2
I highly doubt that it takes 1 sec to shut down. |

How's that work? |

I'm quite positive that I'm not Menu -> Shutdown -> Hit enter -> Bam. Still completely doubting you. 1 second shutdown times are impossible and extremely unrealistic. You sure it's a real shutdown and not the monitor/power supply issues?  And it's not the time it takes to get from the desktop to the shutdown screen if that's what you were implying...

Hmm now I am curious... I'll shut it down right as this posts.... then reboot and edit my post so my post and edit times are shown to give a more accurate count
hmmm when I logged back in to sals it sais my last post was "A minute ago " I wonder if the times will be different? Judging by my time it took roughly 55-60 seconds for a reboot with XP Pro svc.3 3.8 ghz pentium dualcore 4 gb ddr2ram This post has been edited by adrenalsky: Jun 14 2009, 08:21 AM |
