Can we save the operating system discussions for the XP or Vista thread?
Erm. No.
The point here, I would imagine, is to see how freezes relate to the hardware, OS and applications people run.
I use old hardware (vintage 1998 mobo), Ubuntu/Compiz and more applications than most people.
I can't remember when I last had any sort of freeze. A few hours after installing it, I chose to action a minor upgrade the Linux kernel. That means I did restart my machine 18 days ago, which made my Apache server unavailable for three minutes. Other than that sort of thing and some power cuts, the machine has been in continuous operation for three and a half months.
Occasionally, my browser and the composite display manager have a falling out (I'm not sure why). That just means I have to restart the one that lost. That's not a freeze, though. Just one application having a bad hair day.
