hey writes "Red Hat has been working on early login because, among other reasons, 'If we start GDM sooner, the system will "feel" faster because the user will see a login screen sooner.' Very cool."

  1. SMF on Solaris 10 Parallelizes SVC Startups by HighOrbit · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sun has already taken this track on Solaris 10 with their Service Management Facility. See SUN's quick summary of SMF

    I am still getting used to SMF, and luckily they also keep backwards compatability with the rc.d init scripts.

    Provided SMF isn't under 100 patents, maybe LINUX can pickup a few of Sun's good ideas once OpenSolaris comes out later this year.
