You can always press F2 to see the verbose messages, or if you're
rebooting after making a configuration change, you can just have an
alternate boot option that doesn't hide the messages. Me, I use linux on
my laptop, and love watching my classmates oooh and ahhh (they're
impressed just by the penguin and my default gdm theme:) when it
boots... helps me advocate linux. Of course, I try to avoid booting in
front of an audience when I think it's likely I broke something:)
