My SuSE was on a P133 and a P3 1133Hz. And SuSE had this "great"
feature to run daily-cron ten minutes after booting or ten past four
in the morning.

Most times it hit me ten minutes after booting while I wanted to check
mails and do some serious work.

But I realised I just had to disable this one line in the cron-daily-scripts...
