I downloaded an install Fedora on my PC.

Took 12 minutes to install and had a working system. Now using Linux at home more or less exclusively.

Windows takes that long just to boot up and then continually chews the hard drive anytime I so much as move the mouse (and no I don't have 1201021020102 applications running at the same time).

Linux barely flicks the hard drive.
