Hi,
I have 2xSSD, one for windows7 one for Zorin OS. Windows boots up in 13 seconds where zorin takes 20 seconds to boot-up. They are both using the same make and model of the SSD. HOw can I speed up my zorin boot up?

Hi,
paste this command in a terminal and then start "
Startup Applications" and take out the ticks for the things you don't need:
- Code:
sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU STOP FROM STARTING!!!!!!!!.See also:

You could 'trim' 5 seconds off the GRUB boot menu time of 10 seconds to choose which OS you want to boot into - I don't believe you should go below 5 seconds on a journaling system or you could be asking for trouble!

Swarfendor437, I have already done that. Is it possible that windows can make better use of a SSD than linux can?

I don't know if this no longer applies but I believe you had to 'trim' in GNU/Linux for SSD to work correctly and don't know if ext2 is still necessary (journalling FS e.g., ext3 and ext4 can shorten the life of an SSD).
Did you let Zorin do it's own install or did you personalise it? e.g. /, /home, swap area?
