Unfortunately Upstart is still used to boot the system in the same way sysvinit did (no event-based startup used in neither Fedora or Ubuntu).

There are many advantages of this and also of graphics memory organization inside the kernel.

Fedora as a major Linux distribution is heavily pushing this. It helps to push further development in that area, for example support for other graphics hardware as well, perhaps even directly by nvidia. This is much more important than the fancy boot itself.Edited 2008-10-27 20:08 UTC Mon, 27 Oct 2008 20:07:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Ford Prefect) Comments RE: huh? http://osnews.com/thread?335178 http://osnews.com/thread?335178

Yes, I haven't heard anyone complaining, especially about desktop machines. The start up with Ubuntu is so much quicker than Windows that I can't imagine complaining. Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:31:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bousozoku) Comments
