Speaking of W2K Pro's rapid bootup, here's a tip make to it real slooowww. :( Install ML8.1 (it does'nt matter if its on the same hdd with W2K Pro), format a partition with ext3fs and/or xfs filesystem, then reboot to W2K Pro using its own bootloader. Reseirfs is ok (at least for me :-). _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
