Thanks for your reply. I've had these lockups even while I'm not using a
browser. In fact, yesterday I connected to the internet, then needed to step
away from the computer for a bit. When I came back, the computer had locked
up and I needed to do a hard reboot.
Frankly, I'm not certain if this only a problem due to me connection to the
internet with a wireless USB adapter, i.e., driver related, or if this a
general problem with the network in SUSE 9.3. But, until this has been
resolved, I cannot upgrade my laptop to 9.3, simply because I actually need
to do work there. This is less of an issue on my desktop, but it's still
forcing me to use Windows XP instead, which I don't like. It's a shame that
this problem is in 9.3, since everything else about 9.3 is pretty darn sweet.
These hard reboots that I need to do constantly are really starting to bug
me, and frankly my patience is starting to wear thin. I would really hate it
if I needed to move to a different linux distribution, since I have been a
SUSE user since the 7.x versions.
Anyway, enough of this doom and gloom. I'm hoping that the next kernel
upgrade will magically fix this. Here's hoping.
