I am not sure to have caught what you said, but what I know is you
need a debian system if you want to maintain it thanks to official
debian archives. What is wrong is your assumption that a debian
migration will make your system longer to boot. It depends entirely on
the settings -kernel modules mainly- and the daemons that you start at
boot time. If you lack some tools, that need to be updated regularly
-not the case of vlc as a counterexample- I advise you to migrate to
debian or whatever binary distro. You may have to compile your custom
kernel and tune it for lightness, but it is the best way IMHO. If you
consider the Xandros providing almost all the required softwares, you
may not have to maintain your system with debian repositories. Keep
distros separated, because mixing different repository is -always- a
mess.
