Boot time is approximately 35 seconds upon turning on the computer.
I have a ASUS mini-ITX IMPACT motherboard, Intel i7 6700 cpu at 4 GHz, and 16 GB of RAM at 2000 MHz
HTOP shows memory usage will typing this post at 1.33 GB to 1.67 GB, and most of that is being
used by Google Chrome.
One of the CPU cores is ranging from 8 % to 12 %, the other 7 are around 5 % bouncing around from 3 %
to 9 %
I do not yet have a graphics card
All my repository software seems to be functioning properly. ( except Aisleriot Solitaire )
