Title: A Closer Look At Red Hat's Plymouth ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "Back in July we shared Red Hat's intentions to replace RHGB

with Plymouth, a new graphical boot process that is able to benefit from

the latest Linux graphics capabilities. Red Hat engineers had primarily

designed Plymouth around a forthcoming feature we've talked about quite

a bit known as kernel mode-setting, which provides end-users with a

cleaner and flicker-free boot experience. In September in The State of

Kernel Mode-Setting we then shared more information on Plymouth along

with a brief video. Most recently we published another video of Plymouth

that shows the tighter integration between the boot process and starting

the GNOME Display Manager. Today though we are looking at Plymouth and

its different plug-ins along with providing a few more videos."
