Jose,
I have networking setup. I am on a small LAN. I am fairly new to this
networking stuff. Can you give me some direction on which things to look at
and change? I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Moose

If you haven't set up "networking" properly (even if you don't have a LAN
card) everytime you start up a program, linux queries it's resolver to find
out if the terminal is authorized.
Since DNS/Resolver is unconfigured it takes 2 minutes for things to time out
waiting for the response that never comes.
You need to fix this!
Remember to assign the machine a hostname and domain and add an entry for it
in /etc/hosts, etc.
You might want to check the FAQ and erratta for complete instructions as
this is a common "newbie" mistake.

What would cause pauses in Linux? When ever I try to open something, be it a
program or a directory, it always pauses and it will take 2 mins to open. My
system is a PII 233 with 64megs of RAM. This should run fine from what I've
heard. Let me know what to check.
Thanks,
Moose
