That's a thought. If you (Praxus, that is) are running sendmail, have it
configured to use DNS, but don't have a working connection to a nameserver,
sendmail will spin its wheels for perhaps 2-3 minutes at boot time. This
could be contributing to your problem. Other things might too -- see what
boottime messages show up in your logs.

My experience, though. wasn't a sendmail problem. I was using startx, so X
delays and boot delays would be quite distinct.
