Hi guys,
Sling00 here from the pimp dev team..
To answer some of your questions:
1.5.5 & bootmining:
Well, crontab caught us in a catch22, as such we are moving away from crontab for controlling miner startup.
Graphing issue: known issue but does not affect all machines, again 99% related to crontab, this is also moving to a daemon.
Farmview: x11mod miner breaks farmview. so farmview probably will not work properly when using these profiles, and possibly some newer builds of sgminer.
Never fear though, something much better for farm overview is coming soon (~1 week) and a pimpupdate will replace farmview and install the new solution for you

I don't get on here alot and post, however if you have any questions needing a quick response come join us on IRC. Freenode #pimp is the best way to get ahold of most of us.
Thanks for your continued support!
