Comment 79 for bug 554737

I totally agree, Ingo.
As said before I see the need for hiding all kinds of stuff from the average user, but there are alternatives for that.
And for desktop startup there can a lot be done there, just by using VESA modes.

As for servers: server dists should become less dependant on hardware.
While M$ is making it's servers bigger and bigger (and more complicated, as that's where the money is), Open Source servers should focus on becoming smaller and less complicated.

But no, now we have plymouth, which won't work as it should anyway on most hardware (Nvidia and ATI drivers still don't support it, AFAIK), and things become more complicated. Bad choice.

And all that for a shiny startup that nobody needs (on server hardware)?

Where's Canonical ? Steve?
