That's it!

Note: when posting messages, don't assume that we know what kind of machine or operating system you have. If you're not sure what to include with your question, try to include the following:

CPU
RAM
Hard Drive size
Linux only on the machine, or is it a dual boot (meaning Windows and Linux)?

What distribution (also known as "distro") and which version of Linux are you running?

What applications are you running like Apache, OpenOffice, Samba, or an Instant Messenger, etc... when you are experiencing your problem?

Did you install or uninstall anything just before the problem began?

This is just a start. If there are any other facts that you think we might want to know, please include them. We would rather have a bit too much information when looking at your questions than not enough.

No question is too simple to ask but some are beyond our collective knowledge. We only know so much, but you should ask it anyway as long as it it related to Linux in some way, or in the Coffee Lounge if not Linux related.
