I agree with you. But, you should keep in mind this is a Alpha version. According to the feature list for Fedora 11, 20 second start up has only 10% completed, which is so far from an stable and reliable feature. Maybe, in the beta release we can say if it really works. By the way, thanks for testing, this is the idea.

Feature "20 second startup": Perhaps nobody will unhappy if a system starts up within 1 minuet when various services and scripts has been started correctly, attached new hardware detection is ok, other crucial job such as successfully scanning the whole file systems with huge data on it, successfully starts virtualization platform etc. But Surely everybody will annoyed when a system starts up within 20 second where without one of the said crucial jobs. In this regard myself and some of my close friends have experienced a start up problem (within 7 days I will confirm this is a bug or not) during testing the Fedora 10 final on both i386 and 64 platform. So I am eagerly want to ask that whether a server operating system really needs to up within 20 second?
