How was Raspbian installed - via the NOOBS installer or from an "image" (*.img) file?
What model of Pi?
Trev.

You can use Arch, raspbian-ua-netinstall, minibian or dietpi, which are all slimmed down versions of Raspbian which boot quickly. You also need a quick SD card.

Some possible ground rules to encourage a like-for-like discussion:

How do you detect when the system is 'Up'? (When you have a shell prompt? When the GUI is displayed? When the network is up?)

Do you have a 'Holy Grail' that you must achieve, or do you just want it 'a bit faster'?

Good points - I tend to forget about things like the "boot to desktop option", mainly because, since my monitor is shared between Pi(s) and my netbook, they're running headless and thus "booted" when green led ACTivity subsides and I can login via SSH. (By then the wired network is up too). NOOBS, of course, introduces quite a long "boot-delay" to allow for keyboard and subsequent 'Shift' key detection to trigger switch into recovery mode before booting the (current) O.S. (Hence the question in my previous post)

I think its very good solution..but where I Can find them..becouse i did not find them here in download site.

For you, honestly I wouldn't recommend, because they are developer images, which have almost everything scrubbed from them and are sometimes difficult to setup, but you can Google the names to find the links, if you really want to.

piCore (TinyCore) is likely the most minimalist and fastest OS, but it will need a steep learning curve

Regards Arch Linux Arm it is Command Line by default and requires a Linux Machine to create the SD Card

Another way to get a faster boot is to switch to a Pi2B.
