    Hi everyone!
    Last week a friend of mine installed this version of linux on the
    aforementioned laptop. He used to have Red Hat 8.0 running OK but
    after a big crash, X server wouldnt work so we thought that installing
    Red Hat 9 from scratch would be a good idea. The installation was
    flawless but now, with no apparent reason, the laptop freezes
    completely at random.
    Has anyone ever experienced any similar problems with the same laptop?
    Could it be an ACPI or another background process related problem?
    I suppose that since 8.0 would run fine there shouldn't be an
    incompatibility issue causing the trouble.
    If it cannot be solved would you recommend rolling back to Red Hat 8.0
    or should we give Mandrake 9.2 a try?
    Cheers!
