Faster booting with Upstart

The Ubuntu 9.10 development team have started to parallelise and accelerate the boot process through the large scale use of Upstart. This article originally appeared in c't magazine 9/09, p. 176 Loading the Linux kernel takes up just a fraction of the time spent waiting for the login prompt during booting. The current boot sequence, with services starting consecutively in a fixed sequence, remains unaltered simply because no-one has sat down and adapted the init scripts for these various services to the capabilities of Upstart. Both Upstart and SysV init are the first processes to be launched by the kernel (with ID 1) as soon as the latter has booted and any boot scripts from the initial ramdisk (initrd) have been run.

Upstart generates the first event, startup, automatically when it is called. Start on startup task and. SYSLINUX - Syslinux Wiki. SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which runs on an MS-DOS/Windows FAT filesystem.

It is intended to simplify first-time installation of Linux, and for creation of rescue and other special purpose boot disks. When properly configured, SYSLINUX can be used to completely eliminate the need for distribution of raw boot floppy images. A SYSLINUX floppy can be manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any OS capable of accessing an MS-DOS filesystem) tools once it has been created. These are the options common to all versions of the SYSLINUX installer: (Note: The following command line options are valid for older versions of SYSLINUX.

-s Safe, slow, stupid: uses simpler code that boots better. These are only available in the Windows version: -m MBR: install a bootable MBR sector to the beginning of the drive. This can only be used in the linux version:Since version 4.00:

Howto: Use rtorrent like a pro « Motho ke motho ka botho

I can’t imagine why anyone would use anything else, unless there’s something funky the big-name programs can do, that rtorrent just doesn’t handle yet. This time, instead of introducing you to rtorrent nice and easy, like I did with cplay, I’m going to give you a brief tour, and then I’ll show you something very cool you can do with it. rtorrent is an amazing, complex, powerful program that is at the same time sleek, clean, comprehensive and ultralight — and I’m giving you just one small idea of its potential. But first, let’s scratch the surface. Like a lot of console-driven programs, the startup screen for rtorrent is … rather dry. That’s all you get. To add a torrent, press return and navigate to the torrent file. You can use tab completion to make your way to it. Note that it’s still labeled as “INACTIVE.” rtorrent won’t start downloading until you tell it to. Now we’re moving. That’s about it, in a nutshell. What’s that mean, you say?
