<grin> Close to 100% -- perhaps all -- of the Linux system lock ups I've experienced (that weren't caused by a stupid compile on my part) have been from X. Over 80% (seat of the pants stats, of course) of these were resolvable by logging in over a network or serial port and killing X -- the kernel was cookin' along just fine. When we say "Linux," we usually mean the whole conglomerate, so X is part of it. But the kernel itself is close to bullet proof, which is really nice for servers. -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
