Well..I cannot use the k/board either although the mousepointer will 
move it will not call up an app....Sound is ok and the box functions 
well apart fom this freeze up..The hdd's are Maxtor as in my other box
(mobo,vid hdd's indentical)..I have 4 partition on each and have tried
Fedora on every partition and it fails after a while...Libranet never
fails but am a bit bothered abt running the new Lbranet shortly to be 
released in case it too fails me...I have been running REdHat since the 
Mothersday edition and have never had anything so annoying as this 
problem....I cannot understand why Libranet is ok yet other distros 
fail..Also Fedora runs fine on the other box...
I have even swapped the kernels over using both Mepis and Ubuntu but
they still fall...
