Hi I hope I am not forcing my solutions to the list. I have had the problem with kernel 2.6 14 and 2.6.15 (2.6.13 never installed) that the computer froze, most often during heavy simulation but also without anything happening. The same happened to some i386 machines as well. With kernels 2.6.12 and 2.6.16 it hasn't crashed a single time. I have decided several times to stick to Debian testing but unstable seems to be more usable and less problematic in many ways. After reading the incoming mails and talking to my Debian friends I think I should recommend two things: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages On this homepage, all of the debian packages and their contents can be search in such a simple way that even I can do it. The tool dselect is a very handy tool to install packages. You can see the whole list of installed and available packages. A friend of min recommends aptitude but I haven't had the time to check it out properly. The only problem with dselect is that sometimes (when large unresolved upgrades occur) it want's to throw out several hundred packages at once and if I am not fast enough pressing "x", then I need to press plus several hundred times. Pressing x and using apt-get under such circumstances works perfectly.
