Moved: Survey type questions are more suitable in General where these tend to drift off topic and are not technical questions looking for solutions.

Code:
Processor: Athlon XP-M
Clockspeed: 1.6 GHz
RAM Memory: 512MB
Linux Distro: Ubuntu 5.04 Warty
Boot Time: ?
I don't feel like rebooting right now, but when I do I'll edit the time into this post.


For now, you might want to check out initng, which is an init replacement. It claims to decreases boot times quite a bit. Haven't tried it myself yet, but it looks interesting
