I have a laptop that I use mainly for experiments -- why it is still running I don't know. :mrgreen: It only took 5 minutes to install systemd, since I am already so experienced. This one runs on an SSD, and it was already booting up pretty fast, but I was amazed at the boot on systemd -- between 9 and 10 seconds from grub to kdm, and I have done nothing special to tweak it.
Don't forget to install the libpam-systemd and systemd-sysv packages, and to put systemd-sysv on hold. Here's the hardware:
