Welcome to Linux - please review

get better results in asking questions on newsgroups. Thanks!

Not enough information. One thing that may slow some program starts is
the system being unable to determine it's full name. Try the command
echo $HOSTNAME
Does that provide a full name (with dots in it, like 'foo.bar.baz'),
or does it just return the short name (like 'foo'). The hostname
is set in /etc/sysconfig/network. The common problem is that the
full hostname isn't given, and that the name can't be found in the
/etc/hosts file. You probably have name servers identified in
/etc/resolv.conf (ALL of which must be able to answer queries about
any name - because if one answers "I don't know", the game is over
because the resolver won't ask a different server if _it_ knows
the answer), but the name servers may not be reachable (and the
delay is the timeout), or not configured correctly.

What might also provide a clue is looking at 'top' and look at how
busy the system is. Do you have some resource hog (other than the
common overly bloated desktop that is currently in fashion) running
and making things crawl?
Old guy
