[nmglug] Freezing

[Brian O'Keefe]

Thanks Akkana

Yeah, can't check much when frozen. I've looked at dmesg but too much in 
there that I don't understand. I'll come running for help if this gets 
worse. It's usually only every couple of days. I do put the machine to 
sleep a lot. Maybe I need to shut down daily or some such,

Best

Brian
