Actually, we have already parallelized the most important part, the "networking" script (at least on antiX, it is possible MX was doing this already with networkmanager). Bringing up the network interfaces happens in parallel in the background which speeds up the boot process because there is no big pause waiting for them all to come up. And a slow one or a disconnected one won't penalize the others.sanlav wrote:1. sysvinit was Proved at least few hundreths million times till now.

We try to get to the desktop ASAP while the network interfaces may take a few seconds more to become active.
