Rep:
First off you need to find out what is slowing your computer down during start up. Is it hardware? Is it a new service you installed with apt-get? Is it a time out issue mapping to an NFS share??? These logs will give you that information, and a lot more.cat them and search for time stamps on each thing that is loaded and look for errors and time outs.-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 869 2011-01-27 20:08 boot.log <- inspect that first -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 495639 2011-01-27 20:12 messages -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 599059 2011-01-27 20:12 kern.log now try sudo cat /var/log/kern.log

Rep:
make a bootchart !
you could make a bootchart to visualize your booting sequence. Makes it much easier to see, what takes up how much time.
Install bootchart from the repositories (apt-get install bootchart). Then reboot with the parameter "init=/sbin/bootchartd". You can add the parameter to the kernel line by pressing "e" in the grub menu.
You will then get a file which looks like this:
http://s7.directupload.net/file/u/22...c34nke_png.htm
As you can see, it takes pretty long for me as well

Thats actually a pretty cool visual program... Wish we had this for work, so I can show my clients visually why it takes so long... lol
I still prefer to look at time stamps... I'm just stubborn... lol
