From AnnvixBootchart Comparisons The Bootchart website has a nifty utility that profiles the bootup process. There are a few graphics on the site that detail various different boot times for different distributions. This page shows a few boot charts for Annvix 3.0-RELEASE compared to Mandriva's Corporate Server 4 (others may come in the future). You may notice the strange times with the Annvix boot charts. All the charts were done within 30 minutes of each other; openntpd wasn't running in the Annvix VM and the VMware tools don't install on Annvix so the time is slightly off. The first chart is a default Annvix install with the only added service being sshd. The boot time was 12s. Image:Bootchart-annvix-default.png The second chart is Annvix with a few more services installed, to make it more comparable to Corporate Server. Services added were nscd, mysqld, httpd, exim, and portmap. The boot time was 12s. Image:Bootchart-annvix-services.png The third chart is a Mandriva Corporate Server 4 with comparable services running, plus the defaults (the only real service difference from the "optional" services is postfix vs exim). The boot time was 26s. Image:Bootchart-cs4-services.png The charts were taken from VMware Fusion guests running on a Mac Pro. Both virtual machines were allocated 384MB RAM. On the Annvix system, the option 'early_login=yes' was used because bootchartd determines when to stop logging based on certain programs that start and the running runlevel; because Annvix does not use /etc/inittab or SysV-init runlevels, the early_login option tells bootchartd to look for mingetty (essentially mimicking a runlevel 3 boot).
