I installed Linux 14 to replace 12 because banshee wouldn't play without freezing the screen, making the mouse unusable. So I went with the KDE format hoping that the Amarok music player had gotten over the former problem of 'stuttering' and requiring a reboot to get going again. I had encountered that from Fedora 5 up to Mint10.

So Mint14 was running like a Swiss watch and Amarok was humming along in the background flawlessly. I had done updates with the GUI after the install , a week or two ago, and along as required. So I downloaded a PDF and when I tried to open it Libre popped up and then disappeared. No document viewer.

I opened a terminal and did an aptitude update and upgrade. Got a new Mint14 image and a lot of other stuff. Rebooted and the PDF displayed with Ocular. All good.

Then I opened Mozilla Firefox. I had about 15 tabs open/saved and the system hung. Rebooted and things were working and then it hung again. I rebooted and closed 6 of the saved tabs. So far no hanging.

I guess it was the multiple tabs ? Anyone familiar with linux systems have any tips ?
