This way, as soon as the board gets power (and maybe a press of the power button to start the booting process of the board), the program will start automatically.

Thank you. I have Raspbian on my RPi right now and the time it takes to log in is atrocious. Is it necessary to disable X if I'm not connected to a display? I want to maximize the resources that my code has available. Also, how does one make Ubuntu not require a login?
