One system crashes during every other boot, even if I boot into maintenance mode. And if I do a normal boot, it gives me the black screen of death after X starts. I suspect severe file-system damage and plan to reinstall. The other (an AMD64) crashes shortly after X starts. Often within a minute. If I avoid mouse movement and just use text consoles within X I can get it to survive a few minutes; once even for an hour. If I ctl-alt-F1 immediately after X starts, I can use that text console indefinitely. This one looks like an X server problem. It doesn't matter which X server I use, framebuffer or nvidia proprietary. It doesn't matter which window manager I use. I doesn't matter whether I use 32- or 64-bit etch. It does make a difference to use Ubuntu instead, leaving me to suspect this is a bug Ubuntu has fixed, but that it has not yet propagated upstream. The third system just runs reliably. In my judgement, 1 out of 3 isn't a high enough success rate for release. But I understand others' experience is different. > > I have konqueror trying to load my banks website in the background.
