[thechat] Red Hat keeps locking

[Andrew Forsberg]

I think Dan thought you were having trouble with your 'install' -- as 
in trouble installing Red Hat. But you meant trouble with your 
'install' -- as in, your installed linux operating system is giving 
you trouble.

Have you been keeping up to date with system patches? Perhaps ximian 
is going mental because something else it relies on has a bug? there 
may be some system patches you could apply.

You have my sympathy. It doesn't sound like fun.
