I've been using Nevada GNOME/JDS on 76, 77 and now 78, but never experienced the hangs that you're seeing.
Out of curiosity - are you able to log into your machine using ssh - or is the machine totally hung? If you can it might be worth looking for a process that is going mad and/or consuming a lot of RAM... e.g. "prstat -s rss" will monitor apps sorting by their of RAM consumption. or "prstat" will monitor apps, sorting by CPU usage. Now that I think back, there was a problem I experienced once with tracker where it consumed almost 1Gb of RAM which caused my machine to page out/in like crazy, and that seemed like a hang of sorts - but was really simply *very* slow due to the paging. Would you happen to have this installed? Thanks, Darren. aric wrote: >>>> Is it just me, or is the JDS release in build 76 >> generally pretty >>>> unstable.
