A whole crapload of processes :).  Most of them Sleeping.

those are the only ones with a state that is not just 'S'.  I don't really 
know what you mean by "defunct processes".  Cpu usage is 0% for every 
process except X which is 1.4%.  Yet top still reports about 34% user.

Looks fine to me.  I don't really know what I'm looking for.  Disk space is 
plentiful in the partitions I'm using and memory usage is fine too.

Thanks,
Leo
