I very much disagree with that. The one thing that Aurora did well was
obfuscating the start scripts from the user. MS Windows splash screen is
simple for a reason: the common joe user doesn't care that a certain
subsystem is loading or not. all they care is that it works. If fsck, kudzu,
and harddrake don't know how to behave with the it, find a workaround for
them. And saying that we shouldn't care about the startup's appearance, then
we've religated Linux only to the technological geeks. We should always make
sure that the first thing that they see will inspire confidence that this is
a polished and professional product.
