G'day, Muck.

Sometimes we overlook the obvious. Have you looked in /var/log/syslog?

Dunno why you'd have confidence in it anyway. I know it comes with
good drivers, but in other areas it sucks.

My Toshiba Satellite (now a couple of years old) is running Vista
and Slackware 13.37. Had to rescue winblows last year (thank fuck
for Linux). No problems at all with Slack, though I don't use SEEK
or CPANEL or blogs or chat ...

It doesn't compare with your situation, but why not give Slack a go?
(Well, okay, in due course). You'd have to get under the hood a bit,
but one of Slack's virtues is that it's the most Unix-like of the
Linuces (well that's its rep. anyway), which should suit you down
to the ground.

Speaking of wireless, I'm looking at getting a mobile 'phone. So far
the best buy looks to me to be the Samsung Galaxy S 2. What's your
take on the current crop?
