What you have to do is look at what processes are slowing things down, or what processes are running away. at command line do gtop and take a look. Chances are it is something running amok in the background that you are not aware of. I have one of my machines up for going on a year now, without a fuss. Too many people think like windows.. System should really never need rebooting. Any service can be stopped and started on demand. Specifically, which process was "slowing down, or crashing" Look at your processes through gtop. What is eating up CPU cycles? How do you what processes were slowing down. What crashes for you in Linux? Is it wine? > What am I missing?
