My brother is responsible for keeping the Linux box at home in shape,
I only use it from time to time (for renders with a long parse time),
so this might seem a stupid question, but still -- have you stopped
all unnecessary processes and servers? From what I know the default
RedHat installations (which most new users prefer) sets up a lot of
services that you might not need on a rendering box. Might be worth
checking out.
