Re: RH 5.2 Crash! Help!

Hi Ramon, I remember what you saying this, but is there nothing that can
be done about it? I guess the solution would be to not have win on the
system at all, but I unfortionately have to have it for work. Linux is
what I do for fun, win is what I am required to use at my current job.
Hopefully this won't always be the case. Sounds like I am going to just
have to live the the problems of the dual boot machine.
