Well, just for giggles, I download and tried Slitaz, and it does boot quick. 12 seconds and that's from the CD Rom after decompression of the kernel. Nice...
Now, if they'd only take a lesson from GoboLinux and lose the ugly file-system, and revamp Linux commands to something less cryptic, we might actually have an "Amiga-like" solution here. Of course, they need to do a little more than that and I certainly don't expect them to, so I'm just blathering. 
Your easily amused aren't you... that sounded like a bundle of fun...
