Gentoo baselayout-2 and openrc impressions
*updated*
one word: _amazing_.
The first thing someone notices is the speed difference. It is BIG.
Just take a look at the following 2 graphs from the same machine and judge on your own:
Baselayout: 1.12.11.1
Baselayout: 2.0.0
55->29 seconds!!!! Impressive!
Machine specs described here: http://www.void.gr/kargig/blog/2007/08/16/iloog-706-on-sony-vaio-pcg-sr21k/
I haven’t done any thorough tests on it yet, but I will certainly do. Great job roy marples! Thans a lot!
Tip: to get bootchart working when you have baselayout-2 installed add: init=/sbin/bootchartd to your kernel line in grub. Else you will face problems getting it to work.
*UPDATE*
Baselayout: 2.0.0 with kernel 2.6.24 + running prelink.
25 Seconds!! that’s less than 50% of the original 55seconds boot process!
