***I would be very grateful for help in speeding up the boot process, and suggestions for a suitable DE or WM.***Depending on the hardware / driver bugs and your specific needs, suspend-to-disk might be an option as well. The computer gets switched off like for a normal power cycle (so no increased power consumption like for suspend-to-RAM), but saves and loads the entire state, including all running programs (so you can continue where you left off).
Caveats:1. Some drivers (especially proprietary ones) are buggy and don't work properly after resume (e.g. analog TV card, 3D graphics chip). 2. After a kernel update, make double sure you do a shutdown instead of suspend (or reboot right after the update). The newer kernel won't be able to resume the older kernels state and behaves as if the computer had crashed (performs filesystem check, unsaved changes are lost, ...).
