my *guess* is that (your) Debian has alot more site-lisp packages installed that take time to load at startup. :Another thing is about X and Gnome; their startup is faster than in :Debian, and Gnome is using Enlightenment in RedHat and in Debian I'm :using WindowMaker... Why this difference? Far too many variables far too little time, but if you have alot of cruft in /etc/X11/XF86Setup (like invalid video modes that are attempted then dumped), this may be the culprit.
