My daughter's system - a light user- requires weekly rebooting - same
scenario as Brandon's.

FYI When SUN migrated from SUN OS to SV5 R4 1,000 fatal bugs were

The only problem I have with Linux is the constant upgrading & kernel
module recompiling.

What Linux needs is a MS driver compatibility mode.
