Not that I'm aware of. Sometimes I have to restart the computer but I tend to have long uptimes (for a laptop), up to a month or two, typically suspending to RAM every night or several times a day. I don't use KDE4 effects though, they make the UI feel sluggish, but I fire up OpenGL apps, videos with xine or mplayer without noticing lock-ups. $ uname -a Linux belenos 2.6.30-1-686 #1 SMP Sat Aug 15 19:11:58 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux $ uptime 19:50:44 up 8 days, 1:30, 2 users, load average: 0.31, 0.16, 0.09 > Cheers, > Moritz Regards. -- Manuel A.
