Let's try to get the basis of evaluation for a boot system:

- The checklist on the openrc wiki
- boot time
  - how many seconds to go from boot to desktop?
  - how many seconds to go from boot to *usable* desktop?
    Beware that some systems use a number of stupid (IMHO) tricks to
    to get the first number down, so you end up with a desktop but
    not fully usable. (Hi MacOSX Lion)
  - how many seconds to get the network up and a service running?
- shutdown time
  - how many seconds to go from running to halt?
    Apparently people care about it as well

I think during this week would be ok if you manage to evaluate smf and
fix one bug.
