Booting With Mandriva's Speedboot

,----[ Quote ]
| Being worked on as part of Mandriva's next Linux distribution update is a 
| technology they are referring to as Speedboot. Speedboot will be officially 
| introduced with Mandriva Linux 2009.1, and compared to the normal boot 
| process, it begins initializing some processes early on while it postpones 
| other tasks until after the graphical display manager has shown. In essence, 
| the user is logging into their Linux desktop even before the system is fully 
| booted. We have some timed results of Mandriva's Speedboot along with videos 
| showing the differences.

How to get the instant-on PC you've dreamed of

,----[ Quote ]
| Why does nearly every modern computer – whether it runs OS X, Vista or
| Linux – take considerably longer to boot than an ancient Amiga?
|
| With a hard drive, an Amiga could go from power socket to Workbench in around
| five seconds.
|
| With a modern multicore processor and a 12-month-old installation of Windows,
| you're lucky if your desktop is responsive before the kettle boils.
