I believe most of the Linux users complain about the Linux boot up speed. Everyone wants a quick boot time.

After some googling I found fews article as below:

IBM has a good article about How to Boot Linux Faster. Frankly the article is quite outdated but used it to understand more about Linux Boot Up.

Linux Devices has an artilce How to boot Linux faster in year 2003 (another old article).

This is another quite news article which I recommend to read Boot Fedora Linux Faster: How I Modified Fedora To Boot In Under 25 Seconds.

And now, Runit makes a speedy replacement for init. runit, a Unix init scheme with service supervision written by Gerrit Pape, is a complete replacement for SysVinit. Its key benefits include improved boot speed and ease of use. In the time that it takes you to read this article, you could move from init to runit. But why runit?
The benefits are:

  • Service supervision
  • Clean process state
  • Reliable logging facility
  • Fast system boot up and shutdown
  • Portability
  • Packaging friendly
  • Small code size

Check more details on benefits page.

Really hope this can help!

    Heh… thank God I’m on good old BSD-style init. I’m already booting at roughly 25 seconds already.

    All the best in your endeavour though :)
