“How long does it take to see the login prompt?”
System upgrades, kernel upgrades, and Guest Additions were not included as a part of the time since the upgrade times varied too much–even with equivalent distributions. Installed and ran each virtual machine separately without any extra host system processes Upgrades Any user input dialogs are included as a part of this time since input entry is a part of the system installation process. Timed from the first “Install” button click to the reboot prompt once installation is complete. The typical time it takes to perform a full, clean system installation from a Linux ISO image.
All installed to SSD (solid state drive). 
All virtual machines were given identical virtual hardware settings. VirtualBox Guest Additions were installed to all virtual machines. This means newer software will not compile, so kernel 3.4.0 was used. 3.10.12 will install and run for Linux Mint 10 and Ubuntu 10.10, but the 3.10.12 linux-header-*b file results in a broken package due to an outdated libc6. Linux Mint 10 and Ubuntu 10.10 were limited to kernel 3.4.0. Fedora, openSUSE, and Mageia were not updated or given newer kernels. Most installations were updated using the latest updates and kernel 3.10.12 to reflect a typical system for use. How long does it take various Linux distributions to install, login, and shutdown in VirtualBox?Ī few of today’s Linux distributions (along with a few older ones) were installed and timed using a regular stopwatch to mirror real-world usage times, and here are the results.
