Instead of pressing the classic Power button, the user would press the "Multimedia button" that would start a light version of Ubuntu with only the Rhythmbox application.

Maybe there could be a GUI in the classic Ubuntu environment that would allow the user to select which application would be launched with this "Multimedia button".

same as above, but the launch of this light version of Ubuntu would be via GRUB.

How could the moderators have marked the first one as a duplication of the second?





When someone turns on a PC has already in his mind what he wants to do with it.
It would be practical and save some time to choose in the login menu screen, what program or place the PC would start.


Solution #1: Add program/places icons to the login screen

By selecting the user name in the login screen, one or more icons are displayed, making it possible to chose programs/places that the PC will run at start, by flagging their respective icons. The programs/places icons the user wants to see displayed in the login screen could be selected from a new item to be included in the main menu bar, or by means of any other convenient way.

However, this should not be enabled by default. There should be an option in the "Preferences" menu and a GUI that not only allows one to enable, but also to configure what applications should be loaded up/available to open in that particular mode. Also, pointing out this ability during the slideshow on the installation with instructions as to how to get there will also advise people that such a function is present and that they can access the configuration menu in System--->Preferences--->Fast boot up or whatever the configuration GUI would be called.

Tiny Core Linux (tinycorelinux.com) is a Free Software solution which boots in 10 seconds.

It requires only 10MB of files to boot to a desktop, and that's how it boots so fast: it doesn't load unnecessary components at all.

Using the same (very few) open source apps, a 10MB "tiny core Ubuntu" can be created, which can be loaded quickly due to the small amount of "hard disk read"/"process"/"write to RAM" required. Once your computer is working, you can then switch to "full" Ubuntu by loading additional software.
