    Auto Login is one way. Editing your /boot/grub/menu.list and setting time out to zero is another.

    Lots of other ways also but you can break a install by misstyping files and such. You can google. Speed Up Ubuntu Boot 2009 and get a lot of hits on it.

    There are a lot of services that you can stop to increase performance. Execute this
    Code:
    ls /etc/rc.d/rc2.d
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Are you using an ext4 drive? This for me made the boot time around 20 seconds.

    Sure, about the same here - I think the panel is my biggest loading hog. Don't want to turn them off, but there's definitely a delay in there (I think whilst loading networking applet) - it's not much though.
