[ale] Linux boot screen

[jimpop at yahoo.com (Jim Popovitch)]

I've been looking into cleaning up the boot/start-up on my laptop,
specifically, I would like to not display all the debug info but rather
a linux splash screen.  Google yields lots about old/out-dated projects,
but nothing too current.  Does anyone have any good experience with
this, or perhaps some updated details. 

Thx,
