Beware that the 'fastboot' you're talking about (making Linux boot
fast), especially written this way, may easily be confused with
'fastboot', which is the Android-specific protocol to flash a system
through USB (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_software_development#Fastboot).

Besides this minor comment, I'm looking forward for the notes of this
discussion on this very interesting topic.

Best regards,

Thomas
