Francois, it's worth noting that we did work quite hard to make sure suspending and resuming the Eee works well in Mandriva; our expected use case is that you don't turn actually turn the Eee off and completely reboot it very often at all, but just use suspend and resume instead. That way the boot time is not so important.

But yep, as Fred said, we're hoping to have improved boot time for the Eee - maybe using the Xandros-a-like system - for 2009.
