But I'm working under Linux, and even without a constantly open internet connection ============= Then another issues me encountered earlier - discontinuing fixing bugs for obsoleting graphic chips by vendors (free drivers are usually bad [or not properly tested for double buffering, XRendering,..]). Me had a lot of GUI troubles (freezes, black screens, distorted picture, crashes,..) until upgraded from NV GT9500 (like GT220) to NV GT240 GDDR5 (Fermini+) and currently ATI 6850 (Bart+) & their LATEST vendor drivers. Once again - bugs for obsoleting chips may be evil (and even disasterous ) & will never be fixed. New drivers usually activate hardware features & fix bugs for recent chips.
