Booting to XP is fast so it does not look like the RAM.
Uh, no. XP showing a desktop to actually becoming usable can take quite some time. When a Linux desktop shows up, it is usable at that point.
Your suggestion about DHCP is a good one though. You can see a significant difference with 128 MB of RAM. Personally, I would recommend a minimum of 256 and preferably 512 MB of RAM. Maxing out the RAM on a PC is also a good idea.

I have debian and 512 MB RAM. I use MTNL triBand with ethernet port => DHCP is used and there is no problem of boot-up delay. IMHO therefore DHCP is not the culprit. Regards, Mohan S N
