If you're referring to me, the laptop has been running Linux for 2 years. It does "crash" or "hang" occasionally -- it just hung tonight when I compiled and installed 2.6.0 -- I suspect I compiled it for Pentium rather than Crusoe -- in any case I just re-booted into 2.4.23, re-compiled 2.6.0 and am running it now. I always keep several kernels available. Maybe I'm just lucky, or maybe these disasters you think of are not very likely to occur. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
