As a user, you watch your system becoming non-responsive. As a Win-User you will switch the machine off and reboot. As a Linux user with a bit of experience, you will want to check for what is going wrong and will try to recover from the breakdown without rebooting or reinstalling. That said, Ctrl-F1 often is the first step to try (and sometimes the only means) when "X11 becomes non-responsive". > As a tester...im going to turn on a going to turn on gettys no matter > what the defaults are. > where the getty is..is arbitrary...for my needs to interact with it. > As an admin....serial consoles are great.

I guess, you have never had never been facing sporadic network breakdowns (or more common on Fedora: NetworkManager misbehaving) ? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
