eean Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 Hi, I'm after a quick booting Linux distro for a friend's 3yr old laptop (Acer Aspire 4530). I've fresh installed Windows and it boots in 1min or so but one of these fabled 10-second boots would be great as a partner OS. It needs to be easy, allow access to the Internet, possibly Skype, access to Windows partition to listen to music upload photos to facebook. I'm not a Linux geek and I've no intention on learning, faffing about with drivers, so it must work out of the box! XPud and PrestoMyPC ($20) look promising but don't work on this hardware. Splashtop also looks easy but doesn't allow local drive access. Is there a dream distro out there for me? Thanks.

Here's how quick it boots up... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySh5mbPz5Ro Edited May 21, 2011 by jinnantonnixx 1
