    the machine used to run properly on earlier woody-installations with the
    debian-default stuff enabled, however, good idea to turn off things like
    lwresd.

    your input has been very valuable. thanks a lot. i am still working
    through it with increasing success, the problem seemed to be related
    to some cron-stuff running all at once.
    X/gdm still starts extremly slow (1-2 min) after boot, but runs fine
    except from that.
