In support of the original poster, this is pretty much my experience as well.

My most common problem is sometimes the computer refuses to shut down. No 
error, it just ignores the instruction.

I get seg faults fairly regularly, mainly with Konqueror. OpenOffice Base is a 
regular crasher with seg faults, and on "recovery" I always lose the changes 
since the last successful save.

Like the orignal poster, nothing I have tried to troubleshoot (at least in any 
detail). It's not been critical or often enough to warrant the time. I am 
techical (computer science degree and over 15 years IT/development 
experience) so its not lack of skill to track down the issues, more a time 
and will problem. 

I am running this on my Dell M70 laptop so its not your common variety 
hardware.

My 3c

Cheers
Richard
