I'm surprised the article doesn't mention Fedora's boot time. Fedora already has 20 seconds (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/20SecondStartup https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/20SecondStartup) and their last release was 30 seconds. So I guess they've got a head-start

They may have a small head start. The article also doesn't mention what the boot time is for the current 9.10 build of Ubuntu.

For me, Ubuntu 9.04 already boots in under 20 seconds. I'm at the login screen 18 seconds after pushing the power button (so that includes the time BIOS still has control). I'm using a pretty low-end laptop.

  Clueless help-desk techs often count "boot time" as the time it takes for you to boot, then log into your account. Then when you follow their instructions and call them back "after it boots" they get irate at you for making them wait another few seconds.
