That sounds like Linux alright!!
Of course the Linux stalwarts will claim Linux never crashes and that Linux
is perfect.

My Copy Of Ubuntu Server Edition Never Locks Up, Just FYI.
Ubuntu Has Sent Me Badly Burned CD's Before, So I Usually Prefer 2 Create My
Own Ubuntu CD's And Dvd's Instead, Just FYI.

That is because you don't do anything with your computer so it can't lock
up.

All you do is install Ubuntu. Install Windows 2008 Server. Install Windows
Vista. Install Vista SP1, Install Ubuntu.

Rinse and Repeat.

There is no possible way that your computer can lock up. No possible way.
You just can't and don't do anything with your computers.

Just FYI

Oh yea, this post is for informational purposes so we put Just FYI
everywhere so people know that the information is for their reading. Just
FYI

Just FYI

Moshe,
One difference between Linux and Microsoft or Mac, is that Linux has several versions of the same product.

If you installed a beta version, then of course, you are part of the group testing that version or that update.

If you chose a stable version then it should work on your computer without crashing.

if it is crashing, I would think that there is a strong strong possibility that your computer has a memory fault problem. First run the memtest program if you are trying linux for the first time. It will test the memory and let you know if it passes, or if it needs replacing.

Microsoft does checking for a select group of testers. They know they are testing a new feature. Microsoft also has a testing laboratory, or a group of testers at various manufacturers.

So before complaining about freezing, check your computer hardware. Report to us your success. By the way, Microsoft XP will not test that the hardware is ok.
