There's about a BILLION and one tools for determining what's going on inside a linux box. Things like: top: for a quick look. free: for finding out ram resources. vmstat: for getting a look at the VM subsystem: netstat: looking at network connections, retries, etc. good 'ol ps: lots of good info here. There's lots of other tools as well for determining what's going on. > What are the odds that it's the fault of either feisty or ltsp 5?

It seems like it must be either the car, or the road, because that's all that's going on here. C'mon, Joe, gonna have to raise the hood and take a look at the engine. Could be other things as well: bad network hub/switch, faulty network card, bad power/powersupply, etc etc etc. Until you give us, oh, I don't know, a little bit of DETAIL, it's gonna be hard to diagnose.
