I suspect the rebooting was the result of connection problems, once I had the minimal install downloaded successfully everything has been peachy - no spontaneous reboots. I have experienced one hard lock up while evolution was syncing a mail directory with imap server, I don't know what caused it - I'm not going to reboot in case it comes back (I've seen that happen with apparent crashes before - even when machine stops responding to ping) though I suspect it is dead and hopefully log message has something. > > What's hogging the CPU ? > > > It will eventually suddenly drop and I can move the mouse etc. but as > > soon as I click something, anything, it gets bogged down again and the > > usage of X in top skyrockets. > > Hmm, odd.
