However, I recently had a series of hangs on my F17 box that I could not explain. Although I fixed the problem before installing the lm_sensors package I would recommend installing it and checking your CPU temps. My problem was "fixed" by removing a buildup of cat fur from the CPU heat-sink. I'm sure lm_sensors would have revealed to me a temperature problem. :-) -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
