Returning to state is what takes time, not the boot process to login.

It's Monday morning at 10:30, I've already got 29 tabs on 3 windows across 2 virtual desktops (2 monitors each) running on my main desktop. I've trimmed down to just 30 various rxvt windows with ssh or vim open, with files and notes at various stages of completion.

Some tabs may restore next time I load my browser, some won't.



It's because of this that I've started to do everything in VMs. I can always save state and pick up where I left off without worrying about losing anything.


Don't you have the same problem of having to reboot the VM occasionally?
