probably that's lack of ram. observe your harddisk if your server is
thrashing already.
get at least 256 * 3. itambak mo nalang RAM nung workstations sa
server. we run our clients with 16mb ram only.
or you're using a 10mbps network card / hub? unprobably
or it may also be excessive swapping over NFS. usually when your
client desktop has too many decorations. sometimes with gimp
or it may be an animation in netscape/mozilla eating your network
bandwidth and processor.
or a java applet eating your processor and memory
or are you using celeron, try the have-more-cache processors, like p3, p4.
or one of your students is running "while (1) { malloc (100); }" already, hehe
or one of your students is running "while (1) { malloc (1000); fork
(); }" already, hehehehe
in that case, after your turn your computer back on (hehe), edit,
/etc/security/limits.conf to clamp the total memory and number of
processes they can run.
