Because my = only 7.x production server that does crashes daily (luckily it's not a=20 critical machine) and non-server machines are not far behind. If you're=20 not using the "new" features, you could just as well run 6.x :) I'm actively trying to solve some of these problems, but from my=20 experience (I do a lot of things that may be considered "experimental",=20 but mostly userland-side, I run "vanilla" kernels) 7 simply isn't stable = yet. It might be in 7.0, but it's not yet. --------------enigB2886D560AA55CE94910B1FF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG8lvoldnAQVacBcgRA9BiAJwMg7zKjt4v++Bjkmn06tqVOpKNogCdG7C9 1ZafpC1MQ+CyCL8FKRumEuc= =gHQP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigB2886D560AA55CE94910B1FF--
