[Gllug] System going into suspend mode

[Mori Sugimoto]

I just switched to Sarge from Ubuntu Dapper because I was experiencing a 
similar problem (it froze every time I ran apt-get/aptitude/synaptic - 
is HAL related to these?...). Although I liked Ubuntu, I had to switch 
because it was so unstable and almost unusable.

I installed Sarge with 2.6 kernel (2.6.8-3), but I do not have the 
problem I had with Dapper. My machine is very stable now and it never 
froze since I switched from Dapper. What are the serious problems with 2.6?

By the way, If I want to upgrade my machie to Etch, do I need to modify 
'sources.list' to use Etch? or can I just 'dist-upgrade'?

I use mac and it's good. But it's good as a mac, but not as a freeBSD 
machine, IMO. I installed X11 and fink and installed some software. But 
since the folder structure is different from what I'm used to and Finder 
doesn't allow users to see all folders, I find it difficult to operate. 
I also use Japanese but mac as freeBSD does not seem to support Japanese 
very well (probably it's not a problem for you though).
