Ram usage was 53% I started FireFox, cpu readings went to 60-70%, ram usage went to 63% ram and .1% swap. That was with no web page loaded. Debian died at that point. Like windows task manager, it seems that a lot is going on that doesn't get shown on such tools. The important thing, I think is that, if I boot into root, where the video adjustment is not made remaining 1024x768, I can load Worker and use it causing no problem. In normal user mode, Worker causes immediate debian shutdown. -- Noah Sombrero
