well, not that linux CAN'T lock up, not that gpm CAN'T freeze
your X system, not that a poorly-coded compile CAN'T reset
everything -- but it's rare when you have to restart your
linux system, especially without proceeding normally through
the shutdown process. on windo~1 and mac, lockups and
wheel-spinning-going-nowhere happen OFTEN.
i'll change it, but i still think 'fits-and-starts' doesn't
apply to linux, not like it does on mac or windo~1...
