Your comments were not really constructive, helpful, or nor do they in
anyway acknowledge a very real problem with an ubuntu installation
gone very wrong. It takes nearly 5 minutes to boot. Nothing that I
have done changed any configuration other then stock installation. I
have enjoyed the look into the Unix world enough however that I
decided to give Unix a closer look and finally bought a Mac.
Hopefully with professional coordinated support I will not experience
the same problems. If the lack of support in the Ubuntu community
breeds frustration in new users, it is hardly a fix for more
experienced users to take the tack of less that constructive criticism
of that frustration. Reeling off benchmarks of seconds means
absolutely NOTHING to those forced to wait nearly 5 minutes for THEIR
particular machine to boot up.

Your comments were not really constructive, helpful, or nor do they in  
anyway acknowledge a very real problem with an ubuntu installation  
gone very wrong.  It takes nearly 5 minutes to boot. Nothing that I  
have done changed any configuration other then stock installation.  I  
have enjoyed the look into the Unix world enough however that I  
decided to give Unix a closer look and finally bought a Mac.   
Hopefully with professional coordinated support I will not experience  
the same problems.  If the lack of support in the Ubuntu community  
breeds frustration in new users, it is hardly a fix for more  
experienced users to take the tack of less that constructive criticism  
of that frustration.  Reeling off benchmarks of seconds means  
absolutely NOTHING to those forced to wait nearly 5 minutes for THEIR  
particular machine to boot up.
