If it weren't two computers, cooling would have been the first thing to spring to mind (it could still be, if you're in a hot environment). Things like fans and heatsinks gunked up with fluff stops them working right, and some systems will slow the CPU down to stop it burning out. The other thing that springs to mind with two computers, is whether you've been compromised. You could check for a rootkit, but this is just a wild stab in the dark. Taking minutes to finish booting could also point the finger at name resolution not working, if you have services that need to know their network addresses. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 i686 i386 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
