I'm running Linux on a 386/40 and a SLOW 40M HD and it starts up
in less than 60 seconds.  (About the same time as DOS on the same
machine.  I doubt it would take 5 minutes on a 386/16, but I cant
be certain since I don't have one.

Either way, I leave all my computers on most of the time anyways
so boot time is of little concern to me.

Only way to go if you don't have Linux!  I love having a dialup
shell account!
