Try posting it in the Ubuntu forums where they have 65+ pages and counting
of people with Linux freezing and locking up and no solution in site.

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

I installed Ubuntu 7 in about 20 minutes, 2 months ago and is hasn't
locked/froze or crashed yet.

What part of "65+ pages" confuses you so?

When will you people understand - it's not about YOU. It's about other
people and perception. All this "works for me" in the face of so many
other people having issues marks you out as a liar OR your needs are so
minimal that you do not stress the install in any way.

I'm a committed Debian user but its far from bug free - how could it be?
99.999% of the SW on it is the same more or less as the other distros
having issues.

It's not difficult to spot the Micro$oft propagandists. Just ignoite
the troll.

No O/S is going to be 100% bulletproof, but Linux is far better that
Vista or anything that Micro$ucks ever put out, period!

Well... it's not just about me but it's about a large number of other
people and CORPORATIONS that run Linux for important work without trouble.

OTOH, some people could just have hardware bad or they could be doing
something strange and then not telling the nice people that try to help
them afterwards.

There was a nice dual audio card situation a while back that you weenies
were getting all hot and bothered about.

Now what's really interesting is when some joker like you says "it can't
be done" or "it isn't supported" and it's something that one of us is
doing at that very moment.
