Description
Fedora is currently working on improving the startup experience by implementing Plymouth:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureBetterStartup
By doing this, transition from Grub to GDM (or KDM or whatever) would be done almost instantly. Plymouth will use a graphical boot mode with a fallback method to text for those computers that don't have hardware support.

YES-YES-YES =)
I wanted to post something like this, only thought that most Brainstormers won't support this.

I support the idea but I do think that it should only be considered after Fedora has done all the dirty work of getting it to work at all :)

I've just learned about Plymouth 5 minutes ago. You could submit a blueprint.

All I care about is speed.

Looks interesting.
But it doesnt necessarily bring the desktop 'instantly', as I read it its just seamlessness on the visuals.
+1, although I barely shutdown my computer.

When Fedora releases this, and it works OK and better, then I'll vote... 'till then, Fedora seems to be on the forefront of new stuff, only to be riddled with many many bugs from the new stuff right after.

Not only would I like to see this implemented; I would love to see contributions from Ubuntu developers to the project.

anything that'll speed up boot time..
I think it's technically feasible to start using a linux computer within 10-15 seconds. (not just login prompt; actually use)
If only we could get rid of the old init.d, drop/delay useless services, and streamline the whole process..

You... do know about upstart, right?
(which isn't fully working yet and they still need to re-do the boot scripts?)

Remember that Fedora doesn't care about closed drivers and until nVidia and AMD (for fglrx) implement some features, Fedora will not start so nice like for Intel/etc.
