Wow. Nice machine. I wish I had one like that. And how long until
the GUI is usable again and you can actually continue working?

For comparison: my 3.4 GHz Pentium D takes 30 secs for kernel start
(ie. until it begins looking for the filesystems), 6 mins for fsck
if it happens to decide my filesystems have gone too long without
checking, 2 mins until the graphical login screen appears, and
5 mins from logging in to the GUI being completely present.

Not for systems like yours, that's for sure, but perhaps for
systems like mine.

Thanks,
Tilman
