Mandriva has done quite a lot of work on optimizing boot speed for its latest release, Mandriva Linux 2009. Frederic Crozat (head of the French engineering team) has written a blog post summarizing Mandriva's past work on this front, and the tweaks and improvements made for 2009. It shows that close analysis of inefficiencies in boot, and fixing 'small' bugs, can result in gains as large or larger than 'big picture' items like new initialization systems.

Can you please explain to me, in detail, how RedHat would have _damaged_ the Linux desktop? Or are the news articles you pointed to enough for you to make this claim?
I'm not a fan of RedHat, and, frankly, I think their distro sucks. But your claim is really bold.
Even if other big players, like Novell (and in a questionable way!) are more into the desktop market than RedHat, how does the absence of RedHat impose any damage?
