RE: [K12OSN] Random Program crashes

["Jim Kronebusch" <jim winonacotter org>]

Chuck,
    I will finish the tests on the existing hardware and on the new box
just to determine if this is a hardware or a software issue.  Right now
I am leaning heavily toward software.  If I still determine software I
will try the new kernel.  I however have no idea how to exchange kernels
but I do have a linux for dummies book (that is me) and will try the
kernel swap after that.

Thanks
