[Eug-lug] Random freezes

[larry price]

/var/log/messages might have something
if there were kernel messages they might show up in the output of dmesg

are you sure it wasn't strictly an X freeze up? (were you able to
suspend the X session and use a tty session to talk to the box?)

how much memory + swap do you have on the box? (if you are trying to
cram 2GB worth of activity into 128MB ram + 512MB swap that will slow
things to a crawl)
