While there are some minor bugs, and inconveniences, it operates relatively reliably, is fully able to suspend, screensaver etc and is a joy to use, nice on battery etc. When I am on the road I use "Wireless broadband". Anyway, two times in a row it froze when I parked my truck in front of a certain welding supplier called Wisco (on Western Avenue in Chicago). First I went there to fill an acetylene bottle, found the laptop frozen with blinking keyboard LEDs, and dismissed freezing as a random bug. Then the bottle turned out to leak through the top of the valve, so next day I took it there to replace it, and by the time I drove away, the laptop froze again! WTF??? My only guess is that someone over there runs some sort of a hostile Wifi station that crashes Linux. I am quite puzzled. -- * *Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention * * * to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating * * * *from Google Groups.

Your problem is gremlins. While laptops are new fangled things that have been irritating us for a mere half generation now, gremlins have plagued mankind since at least the dark ages. V |
