Re: I am not impressed with Debian so far.
That also happened to me a few weeks ago while I was running Netscape. I
heard my drive going nuts, and I ran df to check the free space. Well, the
free space kept getting lower and lower and ... finally my machine stopped
and I got a Kernel Panic.
After I rebooted however, fsck found bad sectors on the disk.
YMMV.
