PROBLEM: The display will frequently, (about once every other day)

consoles (ALT 1 -7) but they take forever to respond...though I can't
see anything in TOP that indicates why this is.

This sounds to me like disk thrashing. Do you see high memory usage
(check with free or top) while in this state?

One of the odd things about this is that when looking at TOP or PS it
doesnt seem that much memory at all is being used; something like half
a gig where there is one gb of RAM available.
And yes, I am running Ubu 6.10 (DD).
