It's a rather old project, and as far as I know, it isn't
being continued anymore. It should still support at least
the CLI mode for most computers... (I have to admit that
I'm still using it, but usually on _older_ computers where
it often works flawlessly.)

Good choice. :-)

Can't imagine _that_ as a cause of OS hangs, but it might
still be a hardware compatibility or configuration problem.
If v8 works for you - no problem, it's still supported.
