[ubuntu] 9.10 freezing up frequently?view story

http://ubuntuforums.org – I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. It completely freezes up unexpectedly when using Firefox. I could be look at a very dull and basic website and leave it alone for a few minutes and when I move the mouse, nothing happens on the screen. No ctrl+alt+dlt or alt+F2 ... nothing except a reboot. Any ideas? Anyone else have the same issue or similar? (Hardware)

How do I get OpenSUSE to recognise Ubuntu?view story

http://forums.opensuse.org – Well, I installed OpenSUSE and now I can't boot my Ubuntu partition! There is no option for it in the boot loader, but it exists because I can mount it when I am on my desktop and see all my files. PS. First time I tried OpenSUSE, and it has a great KDE integration! It's really nice! (Distributions)
