Hi, > you saved a few seconds of my day. > a user should wait nearly 1 minute for the ready desktop? > and this is a step forward? There is still some room improvement. Even with early-boot, we currently start all services before we process user login requests. In fact, there are probably only a few services that need to be started before login in order for the user to have a usable desktop session. If we can finger what these services are then we'll be able to change the priority of the gdm-allow-login script to run before the unessential services and hopefully get a significant boot time speedup. --Ray
