Really?  On the Athlon 1900 you mention?  What ARE you doing to the poor thing?  From the time I press the power switch on my AmigaOne G3@800Mhz to the time I see gdm prompting me to log in is about 15 to 20 seconds tops.  Compared to the pitiful 3 and a half minutes my 1.2GHz PIII with Win2k server manages (they're both running pretty much identical services since I recently migrated my users from the Win box to the Linux box - although the Winbox is of course running a whole lot of services I don't want as well - such is the nature of the beast)
My old A4000 used to talke about 40 seconds to a minute to boot... but I was torturing the poor thing pretty severely in startup...
Bring on AOS4! :)
