Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 27th Oct 2008 14:36 UTC, submitted by Rahul
Fedora Core For a long time now, GNU/Linux distributions have been criticised by desktop and laptop users for starting up too slowly. More recently, within the Fedora community particularly, there have been increasing numbers of complaints about the amount of 'flicker' that happens as the system switches from Grub to RHGB to GDM, etc. Fedora 10 is going to change all of that, and to talk us through this feature, Adam Jackson, Red Hat Desktop Engineer, agreed to an interview.

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).
