[svlug] short linux boot time

[Akbar S. Ahmed]

Hi,

There is an article on developerworks about starting processes in parallel:

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-boot.html

Other than that, minimize the processes that you are starting, move 
proceses to start early (depending on dependencies), and throw hardware 
at the problem. I'm sure there are some other great ideas, but that's 
what comes to my mind.
