Is that correct? Perhaps those bugs were shaken out it an incremental release since? Thing is, you’ve already stated — or Everex has — that you have non-final software on that machine.

The other problems might be thermal problems but there are add-on file system layers that are known to get flaky at times giving the same symptoms. Can't draw any conclusions without access to the machine. Are there any hints to what is failing in the various logs in /var/log? Anything strange in /var/log/dmesg?

The Avant Window Manager they used for the dock is very buggy--I've used it myself in other Linux distros. Not quite sure why they abandoned the Enlightenment window manager, which has a native dock. This whole thing seems slapped together at the last minute. Thanks for the updates. The Avant Window Manager they used for the dock is very buggy–I’ve used it myself in other Linux distros.
