Parallelise Application for Faster Linux Booting

[anyweb]

"One of the biggest complaints about Linux, particularly from developers, is the speed with which Linux boots. By default, Linux is a general-purpose operating system that can serve as a client desktop or server right out of the box. Because of this flexibility, Linux serves a wide base but is suboptimal for any particular configuration. This article shows you options to increase the speed with which Linux boots, including two options for parallelizing the initialization process. It also shows you how to visualize graphically the performance of the boot process."

I think a lot of people are deceived by Windows start time, because it instantly kicks up a graphic and then wiggles a bar. It is still faster than the standard Linux system but not by any great detail. As always with these things, disable services you don't need to improve start times.
