.SH DESCRIPTION
\fB plymouth\fP is a a graphical boot system for Linux which takes advantage of the kernel-based
mode setting (KMS) available for modern graphic cards to provide a seamless, flickerfree
and attractive boot screen. It supercedes the Red Hat graphical boot manager (RHGB) on Fedora
and Red Hat systems and replaces usplash with xplash on Ubuntu and Debian. It allows
to choose between various, static or animated graphical themes to spruce up the
startup and avoid the noise generated by the vast amount of kernel messages while
the machine boots into X. On systems where kernel-based mode setting is not available,
plymouth falls back to a text mode boot screen which provides a simple progress bar
to provide feedback during boot.
