Very Slow Start-Up (Virtualbox already purged)

If you have 4G and running from hard disk, I'm sure this is something software but just in case it's flaky, check that it's "SMART  status" is Healthy.
Also, which I doubt you have, deactivate your antivirus (I am not a Linux master so can't tell if it's in your list. Wink ).

Good luck!

Thank you for the prompt response.  I used Disk Utility and ran SMART self tests (Short) on all the drives and all come back as being OK.  It is not a deal breaker as the computer is a sort of test bench for me to experiment with Linux (at which I'm am a complete noob) but it is somewhat strange that it used to start-up fairly quickly and now it bogs down several minutes just to get to desktop.

No antivirus to speak up either.  Which one would you recommend for this distro?
