"According to Red Hat, there is a difference between the aims and
process of the new mainline Linux kernel's fastboot -- which was
contributed to the community by Intel -- and the approach to faster
startups taken in Fedora 11.
"They're solving a different set of problems," Fedora kernel maintainer
Dave Jones told InternetNews.com. "The Fedora work has been almost
entirely done by improving init scripts in userspace, and by making
applications more intelligent about the I/O they are doing."
Jones adds that the fastboot patches are valuable, but there larger
problems remain in userspace that can be addressed in Fedora."
I suggested that they refer to Dave as "bit-wrangling deity," but was
ignored. ;-)
