I was doing a fresh install from a Fedora live USB yesterday. total time one minute thirty seconds. It helps to have an SSD drive. from fresh install to having Compiz running and a python CGI server configured with Apache. Less than 10 Minutes. And the download times where slow do to a slow network when installing. Now if I were to write a bash script to automate the install and load all the programs from a PXE boot hmmmm.... I dont think it is a waste of time. How long did it take you to learn windows ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
