What is serel?

   Serel is software that makes a computer boot faster.

   serel provides synchronisation services to the operating system
   startup process.  Unrelated services can be started in
   parallel, allowing the system to boot as quickly as possible.

   serel allows the boot-time of a system to be traced to a specific
   set of dependencies amongst services.

Why the name serel?

   The name "serel" derives from "SErvices-and-RELationships".
   Explicit dependency relationships allows services to be safely
   started in parallel.

What platforms does serel support?

   Patches have been written to hook serel into the following
   platforms:
   - redhat 7.x
