Ulrick Oh yeah, I really don't have any more info to give you, other than that I have an AMD Duron 650mhz processor, 384 megabytes of ram, and have all 1400 (approx) packages of Red Hat 8 installed. And that everything runs slow when the problem is occuring, and that everything is a lot faster when the problem is not occuring.
