And the second question is about the preferred distribution to use VDR with. Are there any distributions optimized for VDR and fast boot times?
Can you provide any figures? 30 seconds, 50 seconds, 90 seconds? To get at least a rough idea.
PS: Suspend to Ram can be a good alternative, that's true. Hopefully that'll be working on that ASUS board...
I'm using Hibernate (aka. suspend to disk), and I'm quite satisfied with it. My boot times for a slow C3-600 system:
- Power-on to GRUB boot: 12s - GRUB to OS up-and-running including DVB drivers: 15s - VDR up-and-running: 15s
In total, the system needs about 45s to be up, with just 15s being OS related (debian/etch-a-half). The system is also not optimized for being very light-weighted, its mostly a normal debian without X. Booting the stock debian kernel takes roughly 60s longer, a selfmade kernel without initrd would also be noticeably faster.
