Hi,
I have noticed that my laptop is starting to slow down quite noticeably,
although irregularly so. Basic tasks like opening xterm in fluxbox
sometimes take a few seconds or more, and there's even a noticeable
delay with command line stuff like ls. Not always, usually after I've
been running for awhile (hours). I also notice that sometimes my
harddrive seems to 'rev' (spin for a second, pause, spin for a second,
pause, repeated continuously over a minute or more), even when I'm not
doing anything (just reading documents in xpdf or a browser window.
Maybe this is just normal for a laptop, but I don't know. Is there some
way to check to see if I'm having any non-trivial hardware issues?
I'm running etch, fluxbox, 2.6.17-2, Thinkpad R60.
Cheers,
Tyle
