Here is the output of "free". Honestly, I don't know what I should be looking for (I know, that's a lot of points off my geek score), but 3036 under the "free" column looks kinda low to me.

...and finally, the first few lines produced by "top". If I'm reading this right, gconfd-2 is eating up a lot of processor cycles, even though I'm using KDE and not GNOME. But that's only if I'm reading it right.

For what it's worth, my computer is a dual-processor Pentium-III, 866MHz, with 256M of RAM and 20GB hard drive space (well, 40GB, since 20GB of that is taken up with my Win2K installation -- I really ought to do something about that some day).
Still soliciting suggestions...

I was going to suggest checking 'df', too. Melissa's system once acted quite wonky (couldn't log in from XDM). It ended up being that / was full because lpd or someone kept complaining into /var/log/messages every 5 minutes. Her tiny (at the time) hard disk filled up, and since so many things expect to be able to dump things in /tmp, they all started dying strangely. We killed the lpd and eventually stuck another 10GB drive in, and it's been fine since. ;) -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
