No it shouldn't thats bad, but I think its an app or window manager thing..
rather than linux itself.. its not happening here on a 256MB machine.. after
a whole day of work (definitions of work may vary ;)
(I use 2.2.19 kernel now as it is a suggested security upgrade IIRC, but the
system was stable under 2.2.18pre21 a few weeks ago to)..
I don't use kde I use a custom hack of blackbox as a window manager.. and
never run netscape.. That seemed to be the trick this end..
ps sorry for personal reply, meant to post to the list but forgot to check
the addr.
