Re: [Sugar-devel] SoaS on XO bootcharts

SoaS is meant to run on any hw out there, and a lot of the optimisations on the XO are because we _know_ what hw we have. Does it make sense to get "skip all this hw poking if it looks like an XO" patch upstream? In fact, this might be something that upstream wants to think about in a generic sense. All the boot-in-5s focus lately is a lot of fun (and great for end-users, I surely want _my_ boxes to boot in 5s), but depends in part on skipping a lot of poking and waiting for hardware. Anyone building a custom Fedora for a netbook will want the same thing we want: a way to declare a "fast path" for known hw. Specially on the netbook segment this can have a huge payoff. (Wonder if Ubuntu doing something like this?) cheers, m -- martin.langhoff(a)gmail.com martin(a)laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
