I had similar problems a week or so ago. It wasn't limited to Firefox, sometimes it was doing a file search, sometimes it was with the screensaver running, it would just happen off and on. When it did, I could not SSH into the machine or switch out of X or anything. I was using kernel 2.6.6-1-i6

Any chance of Debian adding YaST

2004-07-28 Thread Scott Thompson
I have both Debian and SuSE installed on my computer. The one thing I really like about SuSE are the YaST components related to hardware setup (not the components related to software installation). YaST has some very simple and easy tools to set up firewalls, edit and reload bootloaders, make boo
