First, a hello to all!
I recently moved to CentOS from Fedora on my primary desktop due to a desire to have a highly reliable stable desktop that would be supported long term without constant upgrades. I'll keep my laptop Fedora to see what's new, but I wanted CentOS to be my ultimate "stable" workstation.
However, since installing CentOS 5.1 I have been plagued by a strange problem I haven't seen in ANY other distro I've ran on this PC, including a RHEL 5 30 Day Demo that prompted me to install CentOS in the first place.
My GUI (GNOME desktop BTW) will randomly have strange little lockups or freezes where I can't interact with any windows or use any menus or applets. SOMETIMES I can ctrl+alt+arrow to another workspace to free it up, but just now I had to ctrl+alt+backspace to free it up. There is nothing strange in /var/log or the system logs. It just simply freezes.
I'm hoping that someone would have some kind of suggestion, or even where to start looking for a solution, as I REALLY want CentOS to be my FT OS on this machine.
Thanks in advance for any help.
