Hi all

Are there any things that can be "tuned" in the kernel that will improve 
performance of my www server.

I have a pentium-133 with 128mb ram and am running a netscape commerce 
server software....

The reason I'm asking is that it seems to "hang" or "stall" every now and
then ...... ie. if I telnet to the machine it seems to lock-up the session
or freeze so that I have to then create another telnet session to kill the 
previous process??? Also, when accessing a web page it will at times will
not download a full page.... I have checked to see if it is being caused by
lots of traffic but this is not the case at all..... Sometimes I'm the only
one on the machine when this happens???

Is this a kernel problem?? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
