Really quick boot
I’ve been setting up a new server for my parents and boy is it fast. And by fast I mean fast bootup. This untweaked server does it from power up to login prompt in just over 16 seconds. So I’ve stripped a few services I didn’t need but the important ones are there; acpid, crond, rsyslog, sshd and something called udev-post
have done a really good job with freshening up the now multi-year old OS.
