As you mentioned in your 2nd email after this,make sure your hosts file
and /etc/resolv.conf file are correct and have proper entries.  Also,
you might go through and remove some of those services that you don't
need.

I also noticed that after an initial install (heck, the install itself
took 1.5 or so hours and this on a decent desktop), that it took a long
time for desktop to be set, as well as apps being slow to start.  I have
to get rid some of services first thing to get the desktop in a decent
usable state.
