A quick boot Ubantu + Myth TV


I'm looking to setup a machine with Ubantu.
I want it as a TV/mediaCenter replacement with MythTV, VideoLan, FireFox & Openoffice.org
I'm concerned about the boot time, but everything I've read so far talks about the long times 20~45s, and I'd like to reduce that dematically.
Is it possible?
How do I make it happen?

Cheers,
Jamie

Have you tried Mythbuntu?

Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu version that comes with Myth TV preinstalled. I have never used Mythbuntu, so I do not know about the boot times. You can also add Mythbuntu to an existing Ubuntu install like this:
