i have the same os on one of my machines. i also screw with it to the fullest extent possible. i crash it all the time. i also have to reboot regularly. i also have very modern hardware that windows detected automatically so i know its m$ friendly. all i can say is you must be 1 of 2 things. 1: not really pushing your machine beyond text files. or 2: Dont know how to push the machine. i do extensive audio and video editing as well as heavy 3d rendering.(ya i know tux g's i am in the process of tranfering over to the light)
p.s. i know its not much of a flame but im just not a flamer.

If you want to do digital editing, get an older (around a G4 400) Mac. Linux isn't the best at those things...

(Disclaimer: I have ordered from all 3 without problems, but I can't guarantee you will have the same experience I had)
Good. I don't like flamers or flame wars.

P.S - I never restart or shut down - it just runs!

You obviously aren't messing around with much. Quite a few settings can mess things up. Obviously it does crash, because you crashed it.
PS: Just because the fans are making noise inside the case doesn't necessarily mean that Windows is working...
BTW: Never had 10.1 or 10.2 crash on me. Ever. I didn't use 10.1 much, but I use 10.2 extensively. I've had video corruption and plenty of other crap, but that is hardware. The OS has never crashed on me.

Well I have to say from what I've seen, only 1 our of about 15 people I've talked to that used ebay actually had a good experience with it. The rest had a bad time and swore never to use it again. But that's still only 14 out of thousands, but I wouldn't suggest it. I've never heard of those other 2 links so I can't say much, but I always have bad luck with ebay. If you are looking to buy something then pricewatch is good.

ive already fallen in love with macs i just cant afford one at the moment. the one that did it for me was a daul 1 gig with a very large flat panel display. i went around to all the high end units and fiddled. the mac was incredible while the others were not worth the display area.
im all for linux also i like the feel of it sooooo much more than wind'oh, there really is no comparison.

Nope. All I was doing was listening to MP3's browsing, and probably had a movie open. And it just trrruuuddggeesss to a standstill.
Besides, the whole "it's not you it's me".. just. no.
