Therefore X was messed up ... how come ? It worked
fine up to the night before. I turned off the computer
in the end of my working session.
In short I had to reinstall SuSE 10.3 which fixed the
problem. But the serious difficulty was to save three
directories where I have all my recent developments.
If the X session was broken, you should have been able to switch to text
mode and from there done a backup to an external usb disk, for instance,
and/or try to repair. You should get familiar with the procedures so the
next time you are caught unawares.
You can even use email in text mode - I do. There are http browsers, file
managers, editors, etc, in text mode. Including googling! :-P

As a consequence I fell behind my schedule. To prevent
future emergencies I am thinking of getting another
laptop/notebook. Since I have to use MS Office every
now and then I would consider to run alternatively
Windows and SuSE through WMware. Now I run MS Office
through CrossOveR.
Is WMware stable and reliable ?
Hum! Quite... as far as things as complex as that go, yes. But it is
closed source, you know.
