I had a similar problem with 9.10. I had it as dual boot on 3 computers, it crashed all three twice. I put 9.04 back on and all is good, never a problem.<br><br>gil <br><br><font style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3">"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."</font><font style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3"><br></font><font style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3">-- Albert Einstein</font><br><br><br><br><br>> Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:51:17 -0800<br>> From: 707mjanes@gmail.com<br>> To: talk@nblug.org<br>> Subject: [NBLUG/talk] 64-bit Linux on the desktop?<br>> <br>> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----<br>> Hash: SHA1<br>> <br>> Lincoln,<br>> <br>> I've been running a 64-bit desktop I put together, and running SuSE on<br>> it for a couple of years now, and I'm writing this on a Dell Inspiron<br>> 1545 which had Ubuntu 8.10 preinstalled (I upgraded it to 9.04 right<br>> after I got it and it went from Working Really Well to Working Even<br>> Better), and I even had Kubuntu running on it. It was a thing of<br>> beauty: all the bells and whistles of KDE on a machine with enough<br>> resources to make it all work smoothly. Even my partner's Mac began to<br>> look a bit less polished. However, when I upgraded to 9.10 it broke a<br>> lot of things, and I returned to 9.04, and have had flawless operation<br>> since. From what I've been able to determine, this is an issue largely<br>> related to Dell laptops (the proprietary Broadcom module is<br>> particularly problematic) and may not affect you. If I were you,<br>> though, I'd try to get a copy of 9.04 burned in addition to the 9.10<br>> available at Ubuntu. But overall, almost all Linux apps are either<br>> written for 64-bit architecture or compatible with it. Definitely use<br>> the 64-bit version(s).<br>> <br>> Mark Janes<br>> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----<br>> Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)<br>> Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org<br>> <br>> iEYEARECAAYFAksz8FgACgkQKazBbB97cmtd/ACgkuGX/zi8b99oJ8fsIQ630poO<br>> TGgAn1HDoizOSvKY4wbY4EmvtarMp5j3<br>> =GcAv<br>> -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> talk mailing list<br>> talk@nblug.org<br>> http://nblug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk<br> <br /><hr />Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141664/direct/01/' target='_new'>Sign up now.</a></body>
