I feel your pain. I made the jump to 9.2 and I'm disappointed. I find it
almost amazing that given the stability differences between 9.0 and 9.2 that
this was released. Then again, some are loading it with no problems. However,
beyond the mysterious freezing I'm seeing, there are functional problems that
should have long been corrected. I'm not ready to ditch it, since I paid for
it, but I'm not sure what the answer is. Do I buy new hw? I'm running an AMD
T-bird 1Ghz on an Amptron board with an AGP GForce2MX400. I'm pulling the
video card to see if that helps the freezing problem. I'm pulling the Adaptec
SCSI card because 9.2 doesn't find it (every distro I've used does). I think
perhaps little quality control was put into this version. <sigh>
