But according to other sources "Fifteen operating system vendors have 
committed to distribute Moblin-based products, including Asianux, 
Canonical, DeviceVM, gOS, MontaVista, Novell, and Wind River" 
(http://linuxfoundation.org/news-media/announcements/2009/04/linux-foundation-host-moblin-project) 
- no Fedora or Red Hat mentioned among them :p

Anyway, Moblin is intended for special devices, it will always boot 
faster than a general purpose distro. I think we all would be happy with 
something more realistic around 20 seconds.
