I can not say much about the speed. I had all in all a good impression, but 
since I am not using libranet on a day to day basis (I use Debian) I may 
be wrong. One general approach would be not to use ext3. ReiserFS seems to 
be faster.

I am not sure what the reason for this is, but you can turn off the 
graphical login thrugh the admin tool of libranet. But the startx command 
will still not work. You have to add .xinitrc to your home directory and 
then it will work. The .xinitrc should contain one line: exec startkde
This should do it.
