Who defines it? <a href="http://www.netsplit.com/" rel="nofollow">Scott's</a> goal for Karmic (and Karmic+1) is faster boot with not-so-fast SSD in Dell Mini - those SSDs aren't that much faster than regular hard disks. He wants to boot in 10 seconds. I think at this moment boot on Dell Mini is ~20 seconds. Moving that to 10 seconds will be great achievement. This post showed that 10 seconds is already possible with better hardware that's already on the market. @Tomas: that’s true; well, i don’t care that much – I restart my laptop just few times during the month.

Until this is the NORM, not the EXCEPTION (i.e. premium hardware with SSD's) we do not have 10 second boot! That being said, it has gotten faster. Just not fast enough! 10 second boot is NOT here.

Just not fast enough!
