Moshe might have a point. A fair amount of verbiage in
COLA has been expended on Ubuntu freezes -- freezes whose
cause does not appear clear, beyond the fact that they
might be happening on one of the Ubuntu versions.
Whether this verbiage is:
- authentic, meaning somebody out there has a legitimate problem
and is not being specific enough
or
- trollish, meaning someone's out to make trouble
or
- duplicated from elsewhere, which means someone took the
original comment and spread it around
I for one don't know, though hopefully the problems,
if they truly exist, can be sufficiently nailed down to
a specific device. For example, I *know* I can hang
my nx9010 if I attempt to use its winmodem/linmodem
(I'm using the slamr module; scanModem suggests I need a
different driver -- 'hsf' -- entirely); an autodetection
script finding it may therefore give itself headaches.
(It's a problem, but the number of times I've used dialup
this year is less than 1 anyway. ;-) )

Linux. Because life's too short for a buggy OS.
