I'm running SuSE 8.0, and I thought that after an hour or so, the
program would send a black screen. I seem to remember that it did.
(I don't use Linux very often, even tho I would like to, because
my hardware is simply not up to the complexity of Linux 8. It's
just too slow.) When I booted up Linux today, and I opened the
KMail program, I sent a message and then minimized the KMail.
When I came back 4 hours later, the screen was still active.

When I came back 9 hours later, the whole thing had hung up. I had
to use the 3-finger salute. Here I am in Windows again . . . .

This is a 166 MHz Pentium with 64 MB ram.

Yes, I have antother machine, but it's not yet properly configured.
It's an 800 MHz Athlon. Someday . . . .

So did the machine crash, or is the black screen-saver not implemented
anymore, or what?

TIA --doug
