I am guessing your systems were minimum installs withe the required
components added after install or you did a server install of some sort
without installing X..
Here is my experience, I have two systems, both are P4 2.4G HT systems..
System one has a minimum install with the required software added
(apache, mysql, php, etc).. This system is perfectly stable with the
standard FC SMP kernels..
System two has a workstation install and will freeze when cron or
anacron run the respective routines... It will ocasionally hang at other
times too..
My solution on System two was to build a kernel from the vanilla source
on kernel.org and since then I have had a perfectly stable PC..
Later..
