Racecource scoreboard

This page has been discontinued after change in hardware I made. It would not be very fare to compare boot time of systems when the playground is different.
Although, you are free to review results as they were before hardware change.


Different versions of Linux have different boot time.
Here is a table where you can compare this time. Conditions of the run are described in one of my posts.
