After about a year of waiting for Xorg to release an xorg-server that didn't lock up on my Linux machine. 1.8.1.902 was tested on my machine, and it worked! I patched it with a hacked xineramainfo performed by yours truly and set up dual twinview across 2 monitors each, then stitched it all together with xinerama. I'm sure 3D acceleration doesn't work right, but thats OK for me because I don't do gaming and don't need wobbly window effects. This machine is used for day-to-day desktop applications as well as business operations and video editing.

Ubuntu Linux 10.10 ("Maverick Meerkat"): Fast 10 second boot time!
Some hardware info: * OCZ Vertex 30GB with 1.6 firmware * Quad Core AMD64 running at 3.4GHz; really an unlocked Dual Core ;) * nVidia GeForce 7600 in TwinView mode; so two monitors with full 3D acceleration on both. I.e., this is cheap hardware, and it runs really, really great with Linux! The software is Ubuntu Linux 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" running the standard kernel there (2.6.35), and TRIM is supported and is being done automatically. Note that this is a combined desktop and server computer; i.e. it also starts PostgreSQL, Samba and Lighttpd on boot. The browser is Google Chrome (stable; 6.0.472.63). Fullscreen Flash is supported in HD (720p). HD video playback using Totem (I also like VLC) in HD is also shown. PS: I realize demoing startup time for Totem playing audio is sort of pointless when the video doesn't have any audio. I did this in a hurry. :P PPS: Stuff like OpenOffice starts in less than a second. :)
