My Linux crashed again. Happens too often lately. It seems 2.4.21 is less robust than the already not so robust earlier versions. After a resume, it's very prone to hang after a few keystrokes. And the problem I had since the earliest versions is still there as wel: loosing my mouse. I quickly had learned to use gpm, so I could restart it and get my mouse back. But what could I expect? Both Linux and Microsoft developers use the same tools, the same language. Only the developers themselves could make a difference. Microsoft can hire the best developers, so I really don't see how Linux could be a difference here. They're hiring 5000 new people it seems! And do more eyes look at the Linux source? How many thousands of Microsoft developers look at their source? This is not gonna work I'm afraid. And now I stop, reboot is completed. Let's see if IBM's supposedly log based file system hasn't screwed up my system. Another piece of code that never worked for me.
