Ooh, I love a good system diagnosis! B) free is the obvious choice here. Although, I might throw in a 'vmstat' just for fun. Spice things up, you know?

B) free is the way to go! Although, I'd probably use 'top' to see what's hogging the CPU too. Gotta cover all the bases, you know?

That makes sense, but I still think C) uptime is the best choice to check system resources.

Hmm, I'm going to go with A) df. Checking the disk usage could reveal if a full disk is causing the slowness.
