Yeah Volker, whatever you say. You always make me laugh. > Keep your stupid propaganda to yourself. Thank you. You are free to stop reading me if you want. Me? I want to keep reading you, you are hilarious, specially how do you think I will do anything you'll say. Funny, funny guy.

Actually, with UEFI fastboot and Gummiboot, the kernel starts to boot in just a couple of seconds. But, as with many other things you say, is obvious you don't know what you are talking about, so believe whatever you want. I'll just keep laughing at you.
