Subject: fast boot, again
Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 03:58:02 +0400
Hello,<br><br>There were a lot discussions on this topic. This is one more.<br>The main question for this task is &quot;isn&#39;t three month too much for such very documented and widely tested by many developers on many linux distributions as this project&quot;. There are guides and detailed howto-s to make your system boot faster. An informational snow slip making this topic, as for GSoC, a bit &quot;not serious&quot;. <br>
As I see, the project, in gsoc limits, should aim to &quot;ordinary user&quot; or to everyone a full complected tools set to speed up their system loading(on all the levels where it possible).<br>Such a package could give opportunities on how fast you want to, and what to load and what don&#39;t, &amp;c. I don&#39;t want to see this project as just a magic package speeding up my system booting, but a tool that I can use to decrease boot time of my system,  test it and decline changes if I want to. A GUI for this tool would be also useful if one have a time to create it. It is also good opportunity for students to get deep knowledge of known programs and its structure. Anyway, if eventually a person who emerged &quot;fastboot&quot; and probed it on his/her system won&#39;t say &quot;wow! cool&quot; but will see no changes at all(as he/she guess) then these three month are spent for nothing.<br>
All we want is just to improve our Linux! -D<br><br>just a thoughts, please, bring yours if any<br><br>Best,<br>Alex<br>
