[LUG] Reasons to reboot

[Jonathan Melhuish <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rebooting is a pain.  Thanks to the stability of linux and the hibernate 
feature on my laptop, I hardly ever have to reboot.

However, there are a couple of things that sometimes force me to reboot:

*  Network drives that won't unmount ("device is busy").  Trying "mount 
-o remount" just hangs there.  Running "ls" on it crashes the terminal, 
and it even seems to affect browsing the parent directory in KDE 
applications.
*  Processes that won't die, despite "killall -9" and "kill -9".

Also, my KDE menu items have dissappeared, which is rather annoying.

Any advice most appreciated as ever.

Cheers,

Jon
