Actually, this is a desktop pc... So i need to restart that frequently. Also, i poweroff the computer when not needed. And my dad uses windows, so it a dual boot hell :)

Hence the need for initng.

Yow!  Have you considered swsusp2 (software suspend
http://www.suspend2.net/) if it's a laptop?  I use this on my Sharp
Actius MM10 notebook - which doesn't have usable suspend/hibernate under
Linux.  While it is a full power down/power up of the machine, it
returns to functionality much faster than a normal reboot (and I keep my
application state, to boot!)  Even if you're rebooting that much because
of dual (duel? ;-)) booting, it's still an effective way to speed boots
as well as keeping your environment.

Then again, all of my other machines get rebooted a few times a year (if
that) unless I get rambunctious with kernel tinkering. ;-)
