although it does freeze it is about the best distro I have tried....
But again that could be related to a driver written by someone outside fedora and just imported. The issue is why is Libranet stable? This would be a good place to start looking.
Over the months, I have read so many people point to the NVidia driver as the problem but I have heard about people having this problem with ATI cards as well. I cannot recreate the problem at work but I don't have SATA, Athlon or NVidia either.
I can deal with one lockup a month, still much better than any windows box I have used, until June for FC4. Then I will look at it much closer.
