I need someone to volunteer to make this possible. If you would like to do this send me a message so I can say I have someone willing to implement this. Then this feature can be a possible option. I need you! :)

[edit] Current Status

• Targeted release: Fedora 13
• Last updated: November 21, 2009

[edit] Detailed Description

Ubuntu 10.4 is supposed to have a 10 second start-up time. Chrome OS now has a 5 second start-up time. Fedora's start-up time is not as fast as either of those. Fedora should focus on faster start-up time because people want to use their computers as quickly as possible.

[edit] Benefit to Fedora

This would make users happy because people dislike waiting. Making users happy helps Fedora.

[edit] Scope

• Various components in the start-up need to be executed faster and some even removed.

[edit] How to Test

Start-up your computer and time it. Record the time. Through the pre-release process of Fedora 13 record those start-up times to see if the goal is reached.

[edit] User Experience

This will enhance user experience through noticeable speed, that always make people happy.

[edit] Dependencies

If not completed in time continue implementation for Fedora 14.

[edit] Documentation

None yet.

[edit] Release Notes

Not available because there is no current implementation of this feature.
