Reliability is so bad (I don't have the HD space to install more than one distro, and won't install 9.0 on any other system I own or support) that I'm lucky to go a week without rebooting... see my "weird time/mouse bug" post last night for the latest (apmd changes the time & the time change kills mouse's drag functions -- resetting the time fixes the mouse -- go figre!!) :^P That said, have you used suspend/resume? That's the worst offender for me... so bad that I just shutdown/reboot instead... with suspend/resume, I lose sound, printer, and looking at a hard lockup within an hour or so... hmm.... maybe due to the time change or anything UNrelated... Also, are you sure the printer is not working at all... I had one problem that cleared up as mysteriously as it appeared... printing would take several minutes to start -- cups was trying to access my LinkSys gateway, probably thinking it should act as a print server or somesuch... Then, there were the cases where the only way to get the printer working again was to remove and re-create it... 9.0 on a laptop == lots of luck and patience needed IMO.
