On a related subject, San Francisco Java User Group (www.sfjava.org) is hosting a 4-hour event on May 11th at Microsoft-SF on HTML5, with speakers from Google, Microsoft, and Kaazing. People seem to be excited about this because it will give them a chance to ask Microsoft about their commitment and plans for HTML5 in IE9. The event will be recorded and streamed. http://www.sfjava.org/calendar/12296585/ (Disclaimer, I am one of the organizers)

Fast-Booting Text-Editor Operating System? 660

Quite frequently, I'll need to boot my laptop and edit a few lines of text, or jot down an idea or two. XP loads in roughly 4 minutes to usable, and Ubuntu loads in about 60 seconds. Both feel like an eternity if there isn't a pen and paper around. What is the best operating system that people have found which would load to useable in under 20 seconds, can edit text files in something a little more friendly than VI or EMACS, yet can still access fat32 formatted USB drives? GUIs aren't required, but commands which require arcane foreknowledge or a cheat sheet are out."
