no
Who installed debian/ubuntu on eeepc reveals boot time get longer
from 20s to 1m:50s. Nobody I know has completely substitute all
xandros packages with debian's but changing the kernel does not hurt
the boot time.
What I assume is BECAUSE boot time depends on the settings could be
easier installing debian packages onto Xandros instead installing
Xandros settings on a Debian from scratch installation.

Yes, I see it is a mess!
