There are probably some tweaks that will eliminate this. It's easier, though, to turn the thing off at night and on in the morning.rcjhawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05775355479914145966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230347.post-1126381565815929092005-09-10T15:46:00.000-04:002005-09-10T15:46:00.000-04:00So, from your first comment, I gather that the BOS...So, from your first comment, I gather that the BOSD becomes more likely the longer you leave your computer on without shutting down. I am curious about that because my roommate never shuts down the computer unless I specifically ask her. I always feel like my PC performs better if it gets a little down/off time now and then.Carleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156625632224119055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230347.post-1126372224061838992005-09-10T13:10:00.000-04:002005-09-10T13:10:00.000-04:00Oooh, that was ugly.

Most "crashes" that I've experienced have come from<BR/>X11 (the windowing system) getting hung up, while the underlying OS<BR/>remains running. (The windowing system under Unixes runs on top of the<BR/>OS, not as a part of it, sort of like, but better than, Windows 3.1 on<BR/>top of DOS.)

It involved a ton of restarts, but eventually everything was fine. Does Linux ever have the blue screen of death? Or is just wonderful Windows?Carleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156625632224119055noreply@blogger.com
