Yes, and we've looked a little at what Fedora is doing to see if there's anything we should learn from/use from them. > Was there ever a coolstart project? If so can you provide a link? Yes there was, but it was before we really had projects going on OpenSolaris, so there aren't many external links, beyond the blogs of the engineers involved at the time, such as: http://blogs.sun.com/setje/entry/happiness_through_ignorance http://blogs.sun.com/setje/entry/faster_seamless_boot_progress_graphics and the bugs that show up when you search for keyword "CoolStart": http://bugs.opensolaris.org/search.do?keyword=coolstart&process=1 It was a team of people from ON, X, JDS and our UI design team to improve the look and feel of bootup, login, gnome startup, session lock and logout. We haven't really worked on it as a unified cross-consolidation project in several years (the original push was for S10U2, and most of the putbacks to Nevada were done by build 35), but we continue to get some improvements in these areas as individual bug fixes/RFEs, mostly coordinated through the Indiana project these days. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
