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.

But it doesnt necessarily bring the desktop 'instantly', as I read it its just seamlessness on the visuals.

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..

(which isn't fully working yet and they still need to re-do the boot scripts?)]]> Sun, 27 Jul 2008 11:35:24 +0000 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:02:17 +0000
@VisitorQ: plymouth will help things like fast-user-switching, logging in and out, and switching to a virtual terminal as well. And @jrusinek, AMD/ATi support is actually forthcoming. In fact, in the current F10 (rawhide) kernel, only ATi support is enabled because the Intel driver is being reworked upstream.

Plymouth is safe at this point to start testing -- without a modesetting kernel, you get text-based boot anyway.]]> Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:25:19 +0000
Helping the fedora community push this, can lead to less bugs surely this is pretty much an answer for bling without taking a step backward.
