I was away from 8 am till 8pm today, (Fri March 17).
When I got home, the computer had mysteriously rebooted itself.
My son suggests a St. Patrick's Day Linux Virus.
Here's `last':-

That mysterious `reboot' at 14:00 worries me. No-one was home.
Could the cat do it ? Was there a power failure today. Why 14:00
precisely?
There's nothing different about the box except I started using xglobe
yesterday.
The `crash' at 7:41 yesterday did not occur, although I did `exit'
WindowMaker at some stage, (always a bit traumatic) while getting the hang
of xglobe.
Any other St. Pat's Viruxen ?
Slainte, Dia 's Maire agaibh,
Tog e go bog !
