well It slept all of about 2 times before it just shut down again, but it kernel panics less oddly enough. Im installing ubuntu 5 onto it , that should solve the problem and should allow modern software and internet apps to work smoothly. does anyone know how well flash works in ubuntu compared to tiger on these machines? Regards ::je2::
