Boot Process Visualization 536
zigam writes "The time needed to boot desktop Linux systems is becoming an issue. That's why I recently took the challenge posted by Red Hat's Owen Taylor on the Fedora developers list and came up with a tool for visualization of the boot process. It collects performance data during the boot up and then renders an SVG or PNG performance chart. It immediately helped Red Hat developers solve some issues and I have since received boot charts from other GNU/Linux developers as well. Solaris kernel developers reported success in improving their boot process too." Update: 12/15 20:04 GMT by T : Sorry, someone decided your time was worth wasting; no more mirrored bootchart.

OTOH, it *is* IIS, it could die if you blink at it the wrong way. :)

"No, Mom! It's still starting!"
One of my friends had a theory that held true (up until Windows XP) that Windows (and MacOS at the time, this was 1995) was harmonically tuned to boot up just as long as it would take you to get up and take a piss and come back.
Though some of the Windows 2000 machines here at work make me think I have enough time to take a dump and come back. They're fast, just something is very wrong with them.

1. MS = Evil
2. IIS always sucks
3. /.ers are smart enough to know better
Any admin worth his wages knows better than to use IIS, steaming pile that it is. I know the button monkeys like it because it's easier than all that damn reading and knowledge that Apache requires, but it still sucks. And we could exclude Linux from this anyway (if we chose to), Apache runs on Wintel just fine, amongst many other platforms. That said, if you are here hawking your Linux tools there is something lame about hosting them on IIS.
