Yep, I'm in X all the time... me the user with 8 virtual desktops, root
with 4 virtual desktops, and sometimes an experimental user (diff wm) with
6 virtual desktops. Though I must admit, due to one reason or another,
I've closed gnome, logged out, logged back in and restarted gnome... maybe
twice in that 27 days. I've been running setiathome, too, for way over
200 hrs (nice 19) in that time frame, but just one client. I'll run 2
when I get the lm modules running properly so that I can track cpu temp.
Additionally, the server rack mount case it's in has 3 pan cake fans, plus
I added cpu heatsinks/fans from PC Power & Cooling.
I have had 1 real lockup, but hopefully BIOS changes I made will prevent
others... we'll see.
