Hello Jonathan,
Thanks for explantation and of course I'm trying to fill bug reports
to make things better..
Currently my laptop works under Ubuntu and here are examples of BTS reports:
about BUG: scheduling while atomic:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1068833
and about graphics freeze:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1033263
and about touchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/606238
and about cpu fan:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/i8kutils/+bug/410596
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/632228
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/i8kutils/+bug/1060096
I don't know where are also Debian specific, because I'm using my
laptop to day by day
work with many stuff configured as I want so changing/replacing kernel
or a distro is a
process which I can't do frequently (probably first I will try a live
demo of wheezy when will
be released)
All I need is a stable set of tools and mobile laptop which I can
resume/suspend without
crashes and do my work. Secondly I'm only a user of OS not a developer. :-)
I'm monitoring crashes of my laptop which can't be solved during
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or REISUB and
the stats from April look as follows:

revelation'... but I'm trying
to use a car without be a mechanic.. :-)
