Speedboot explained
For those of you not following Mandriva Linux development closely, we just released Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring Beta and this is our first release featuring speedboot feature, in its initial phase.
Booting fast, is it important ?
Boot time has been a hot topic for the past few months in Linux community, either by chip and SSD manufacturers who want to show how fast their hardware can go when software is fixed properly (Moblin fastboot) or even by distributions, mostly on Netbook and OEM, such as various Mandriva Linux based products, like Hercules eCafé, G-dium, TouchDiva which are using Mandriva finit.
However, most of those initiatives are focused on fixed hardware configuration and software install, which ease boot speed optimization according to system specifications.
Unfortunately, on a generic distribution where many features are available and might be enabled or not, based on user choices, not all optimisations can't be applied blindly.
This is why we have created speedboot for Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring.
