No, just the current defaults in sid. What services are started can be seen here (vertical lines drawn each second): http://well-adjusted.de/~jrschulz/gfx/bootchart-2010-03-26.png Total boot time is about 30-35 seconds, depending on how fast I enter my disk encryption + login passwords. For chart rendering, I have temporarily disabled my encrypted /home. I don't use any of the big desktop environments, just plain awesome (the window manager). But that isn't included in the chart anyway. BTW, I tried slim instead of gdm, but I found it to be a little bit on the buggy side and IIRC it lacks a few features I like (don't remember which).
