It might be a bit embarrassing to have Vista boot faster, but at > least you don't have to be embarrassed after it's up and running....unlike > Vista. > From what I remember from vista when I got the computer before I dumped vista, it got relatively quick to the desktop but was unusable for another 5 minutes or so (at least) until it finished getting everything up and running (and that was on the second boot of a new computer with nothing installed just after I setup a basic user on a 2.5ghz core 2 t9300 laptop with 3gb ram). There is a package that reshuffles the startup order which should get you a desktop before everything is started but I don't remember what it is. You may be able to play with the startup order of things to achieve the same effect (not sure what X is dependent on for a proper start) > Just my humble opinion.
