I followed Tom Brinkman's mantra: user --> hardware --> OS. Of course, I could skip the 'user' part, because I already know my hardware is crappy (not to imply anything about your situation). Anyhow, if you could post some info about your hardware, there are some things you may need to 'tweak' to get it running more solid. I found that there were some kernel options in LILO and also the NvAGP setting in my XF86Config-4 that got me onto a more stable footing, and these of course were particular to my hardware. In the end, it may in fact be the OS, as Derek and Stephen have suggested (ie. you might want to make sure you keep up with the bugfixes and such) x.0 releases do have a rep. -- JoeHill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 06:23:31 up 5 days, 20:54, Mandrake Linux release 9.2 (FiveStar) for i586 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "I believe what I said yesterday ...
