as I see it:
will boot, and within one second has screenpicture.
Within 3 seconds has sound.
Like a linux-based (embedded) mp3 player.
So it is possible.
-
Mine does have sound within 2 seconds and X in 3. (without the bootloader)

CPU? boot medium?

Intel Celeron, 700Mhz, booting from a 32Mb DOM. (T-online S100)
I haven't measured it, this is just what it feels like. Sorry.
-
I'd hardly use the term "ultimate edition" for any OS based on sole criterium of boot time, and particularly not for any Linux distro.
-
Sorry, I checked more carefully now and actually it takes 12 seconds from GRUB to prompt on this system...
it says loading the ramdisk(10 seconds) + init script (udev, loading the extensions, 2 seconds)=12 seconds
-
Huh, no secret.
I'm using a stock install with only a few extensions loaded...
Are 12 seconds really that great?
By the way, I just grabbed into 230 Volts while testing. Went through my arm which now has difficulties to type >:(
-
Might be possible with some kind of union root dir. But I haven't yet had the need for it.
-
If it wouldn't load to RAM, it would load as fast as possible.
... and operate much slower. ::)
-
... but the operation would be slow.
Don't think so.

Fairly hw-dependent, really. That's not even a new laptop, it's from 2006.
@ running in RAM:
The effect is great even on current hw, but to really see it in action try it on hw with a slow cpu and slow hd.

Wow, this thread got unreadable after paul panzer deleted all his comments.
So I'll have to quote everything I see from now on oO
-
@ hiro - that kind of voltage will probably not decrease the boot time. ;)
I hope your arm is OK?
More seriously, I'm not so impressed with my boot times lately - maybe just a combination of me being accustomed to the quickness and some drag from the extensions I load. I don't have a decent clock near my computer lately so I have no objective boot time measurements, but does tc3.x boot a little slower than 2.x?
No, I haven't tried ondemand at all. (Wow! I just mistyped ondamned about ten times in a row. Spell check says its still not a word.)

Lee, I would look inside of mydata.tgz and see if unneeded data is being saved and restored.

Not only using OnDemand, but also looking at what times take to backup will improve boot and shutdown times.
Look at: Control Panel->System Stats->bigHomeFiles for candidates to either remove, relocate, or make into extension(s). CLI users can use bigHomeFiles.sh
