Amen to that. Ideally you want a nice graphical logo (Of a penguin, most
likely),
with a scrolling window showing any kernel messages.
Also, give the user the option of pressing key during boot-up to disable the
graphical mode, just in case. :)
I'm hoping Linus himself has an interest in this sort of thing, what with
wanting
to target workstation users (I.e. make the whole system look as friendly as
possible).
Tris.
