WIth ubuntu 8.10, I've had a problem with Pidgin sound and pulse-audio
creating a huge memory leak. But settinng pidgin to use Alsa solves that.
That's about the only problem I've had with any of my hardware. Xubuntu is
a stripped-down implementation, and that may be part of your issue.
On Fri,
I had no stability issues with 8.10 well none that I didn't create

If you're finding a lot of distros freezing up, you may be looking at a
memory issue in your computer.
Be sure it's the distro and not actually a hardware issue.

Hi,
I'm finding Xubuntu 8.10 to be unstable. A lot of people on this list
seem to be into Fedora disto - I'm downloading the iso now. It's ashame,
Xubuntu feels wonderful - but it acts weird, things freeze and crash. My
theory is that there are so many distros that the quality of the

They can't lay off the Vista people. Who would repackage Vista into
Windows 7 and call it "new and different"?
Windows 7 is to Vista as Obama is to Bush. (No different)

Totally agree with Eric here.
If you want to learn Redhat (now commonly called "RedHat Enterprise
Linux" or RHEL) do CentOS.
We use it here at the office (we abandoned Fedora because its too
bleeding edge) and haven't looked back.
CentOS: All the convenience of RHEL and none of the pain.

SSD's have a limited lifetime, after writing so many times to one spot, it
will wear out. It's a big number but it is finite.
Thus the firmware, makes sure it spreads around the writes on the SSD.

I have had decent luck with crossover. It is not free software (but it was
free as in beer for a day) I don't actually do much with it as I have been
clean from windows so long I actually had to go seek out apps to install in
it because I didn't use any windows apps. I was able to run googles new

Honestly i liked vista, i ran the beta and it was weird but there were

That means that once you get a person to go with an FLOSS solution they

I think you are 100% correct. We understand more, and some of you guys know
