Speaking on the subject of parallel booting... has anyone tried init-ng? I had it installed in Fedora Core 6 using a P4 Hyper-Threading CPU and it cut my boot time in half. One drawback is that you manually have to set up most of your startup scripts as many services are not setup right out of the box. Maybe this changed in Fedora 7?
