I have an old laptop p3-600 300 mb ram. Its boot time is very long. How can i reduce it? By compiling all modules to kernel?

Install Arch Linux or even Gentoo if you are up to the task.

Looks like I've got an excuse to try compiling a kernel.

Sorry to mention it already Arch I am looking for further improvements.

They also excluded services that Ubuntu needs (Cups, anyone? Wireless support? Sound Support?), which means that Ubuntu may not boot THAT fast.

I don't think so--I see HAL, udev, and network-manager running for the latter two. No cups, yes, but that would be possible within the time limit with the other kernel hacks they mention.

good news! the future's looking 'quick!'

If you compile these things into the kernel (if it's possible, as proprietary stuff can't, you_know_why) than you don't have to wait for your module pack to startup. Anyways, I got my bootup time down to 12 seconds by making my own system in Gentoo. It was very speedy, and it even ran Gnome.

This is why open source rocks.
