One thing that bugs me about bare metal servers.  So much money is spent to buy something beefy and powerful, and to run a lightweight efficient OS, and yet they all take like 10 minutes or worse to cold boot where a $500 laptop cold boots in under a minute.

I know *why* (RAID, PXE, etc.), but that doesn't mean the situation itself isn't ridiculous. 

 @39199a26 Well that's like complaining an 300kmh ICE train is slow because it starts slow. Servers usually don't boot. Desktop PC boot every day. That's where the emphasis is, probably. 😁
