Linux SLOWED down!

OK, basically im on a redhat/win2k computer and recently everything just completely slowed down in redhat. WIn2k is normal but redhat is totally slow. Usually daemons start up real fast when i start up, but now they start up slowly, and i log in slowly. Basically everything is slow. It was blazing fast one minute, then i rebooted, loaded up win2k, played some games, rebooted, and started linux up and it was slow as hell. The last thing i did in linux was mount the fat32 partition and looked for a file. thats all, i didnt do anything other than that. I have no idea whats going on here..

can anyone help?

Maybe it's your terminal emulation. Changing it to vt100 helps when things go slow like log in to me.

Hopes, this helps

U mention the problem but what about the yr computer's config...

Mostly if u r using linux with MS-Win/xp/2k,etc it will became little slower,it could be win or linux itself.

Are u using Pcquest linux??

Im running redhat 7.2. I've had it installed for ages and its always been fast. BUt all of a sudden it slowed way down.

ive got a 1400 mhz athlon and 512 megs of 266 DDR ram.
