I recently posted that i was having problems with hardy totally locking up and firefox crashing often. i therefore tried gutsy for a couple days before the same thing happened. (when ubuntu in the past has worked perfect) :-k OK. i decide to go with mandriva to see what happens. no real problems. it actually works quite well for me. but the one thing i didn't try in ubuntu, was updating my BIOS. but i had this nagging suspicion that something wasn't quite right with the hardware and decided to update the bios and reinstall ubuntu. well, i think i may have found the source of at least some of the issue. let's face it, if the foundation isn't strong, how good will the house hold up?
long story short, my computer boots alot quicker since the bios update and seems very smooth now. it's only been 1 day, but things just feel different. anyway, i think it's a lesson learned that sometimes it's not always the software's fault. i think people are too quick to blame the software when, very easily, there could be a slight hardware malfunction. hardware in general, can be very flaky as i've learned. i think people should keep this in mind. besides, how many people can guarantee that their hardware is 100% perfect?
i hope everyone has a great night. peace.
