BTW, the best-of-breed here is quite clearly Gentoo (you can easily see it with the Live CD) - who manage to make the boot messages both informative and pretty. In my view, it's much more elegant than the animation (especially when the animation's progress bar doesn't have 100%=100%, but can go round again!). The WinXP boot screen is a perfect example of how not to do it.
I love the fact that with Ubuntu, most of the time, things "just work", and look simple. But I really really wish that the complexity wasn't hidden. Things should be "as simple as possible, but no simpler". -- Allow pressing escape to see boot messages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195666 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
