Is this---replying in this thread---the right place to report my experiences?

I found that according to update-manager my system is up to date, but aptitude dist-upgrade upgrades 70 packages and installs 3 packages additionally. My problems according to speed and stability described in http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/59879 and http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.laptop.testing/589 still exist. But I could isolate them further. I guess it's a matter of memory. After upgrading to Dapper and playing with conky I accidently found that system freezes when about 80% of memory usage is reached. This is reproducible under any circumstances! So I found a short-term workaround by installing openbox and working only with one application (mail or browser or editor or image viewer or pdf viewer ...) what isn't very comfortable. Even Xfce's memory usage is too much for my tasks. (My Laptop has 256MB RAM) > Good things to test: > > 1) Does suspend/resume to disk work? To RAM? [...] Hibernating doesn't work at all (while on AC power, didn't try with battery). Screen blanks and comes back again; only openbox, gnome-update-manager and a terminal are running (65MB of memory in use): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ LANG=C sudo /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh Password: * Shutting down ALSA...

[ ok ] FATAL: Module battery is in use. xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0 Sleeping works but waking up doesn't. I get a console with "Linu" (sic!) in yellow color[1]. Nothing else, no reaction on pressing any key. I have to press the power button for about five seconds then the laptop is shut down. Using the sleep script from a terminal doesn't work, so I have to try it with Gnome (then memory usage is 123MB) and have a look at the log files. But there is only one message after pressing the sleep button: Apr 24 16:55:22 localhost gdm[4361]: Master wird in Ruhezustand versetzt...
