This a semi-announcement, semi-question:
I saw an article on linux.com[1] talking about booting startup
services in parallel to improve boot time.  With Dapper, my boot time
is quite good, but of course, any improvement is always welcome. :)

I'm thinking of testing this out on a default installation of Dapper
once it's released to see what kind of difference I can get with my
services.  I'll be posting my results probably here and on the wiki
(someone correct me if I should do otherwise).

Pending results of course, would something like this be a candidate
for Edgy?  I'll be significantly less inclined to try if it's only me
that will improve from it.

Cheers,
Andrew
