"For a long time, Linux has been blamed to boot slowly, compared to other modern operating systems. In this article, we are going to focus on a new init system we developed for our Pardus Linux distribution, Mudur, together with other initiatives that are worth mentioning. Mudur is written from scratch in Python with simplicity, speed and maintainability in mind. It isn't a replacement for the /sbin/init command like some other alternatives, nor just a parallel script executor. Mudur greatly simplified our boot process, making it faster and more flexible. Authors look forward for future boot process research for further improvement and optimizations."

I'm an Ubuntu convert and a Canonical fan. And I thought Upstart was too ambitious, at first. Then I started reading more about it and decided that, although overly ambitious, it was a good idea.
And then, after reading the latest propaganda, realized that the focus is on solving problems that have already been solved quite nicely with DBUS and HAL.
We need a parallelized boot. Good solutions already exist. Canonical is inventing problems that do not exist in an attempt to sell Upstart.
