How is everybody finding the stability of their Mandrake 
8 boxes?  I've been having some problems.

I've had several random lockups while in KDE.  Nothing I 
can replicate.  Somtimes it locks while I'm doing 
something innocuous (moving mouse, minimizing window), 
sometimes it's locked up over night.  When this happens, 
there is no saving it.  Keyboard & mouse are completely 
dead, and it won't even respond to a ping over the net.  
This has happened maybe 6 or 8 times total over the past 
2 or 3 weeks.

I've also had 2 random reboots.  Once was over night, 
and the other was during the day while I was at work.  I 
had left the box logged in, when I get back the login 
screen is up and last shows a reboot.  The box is on a 
UPS, and the other box on that UPS hasn't rebooted.

There is doesn't seem to be anything interesting in the 
logs wrt these incidents.

I'm pretty confident that its not a hardware problem.  
This box was rock-solid with a RedHat 6.2 variant.

Any ideas?  Frankly, If I was satisfied with this kind 
of stability, I'd have stuck with windows :-)
