I think that may be deliberate... ;-) I've recently been having a play with Ubuntu, it's start-up time is quite a lot quicker than Fedora's. Although I can put some of that down to there being less services started up, which asks the question "does Fedora really have more daemons than it needs to?," I can also see that when you do start some services they're much quicker to get started. You can see that demonstrated, quite simply, if you start up in a text mode, and watch how long the wait is for each service to get start and move onto the next one. And, no, it doesn't appear to be starting services concurrently, there's definitely a wait for one thing before the next thing fires off. I haven't yet gone looking deeper into it to see if I can figure out why. Though, in the past, I speeded up some Fedora daemons start up times quite significantly by stripping out all the comments in the configuration files - Apache and Samba being two that I particularly remember doing so made quite a radical difference to their start-up speed. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
