Well, go back to Windows then... I'm saying this sincerely, not to be unpleasant. Let me explain. We "CCM contributors" are here to help people who want to solve a Linux problem. Listening to people complain, not so much.
Hello
I'm sorry if I offended or hurt you; I wanted to clarify a few points:
1/ For the geeks, I used to be one, but with family life, it's harder. I'm no longer keeping up with the evolving tech, which has surpassed me. But I respect the tech enthusiasts; I am still one at heart.
2/ Regarding the Knoppix CD, I wasn't familiar with it, so thanks for the info.
3/ As for the xserver procedure, I read about it on forums, but when I upgraded my version, I tried this method several times and its variations, but I couldn't solve my problem. So, just for your information, I went back to the last version that worked well, Dapper Drake.
4/ The only thing that bothers me about our issue regarding "busybox" is that I've seen forum posts dating back to January 2007, but this problem has never been resolved, and the exact cause still has no solution (USB, graphics card, motherboard, etc.).
So, I wanted to apologize if I seemed upsetting; that was not my intention.
By the way, your site has a lot of useful tips, and I'm not trying to butter you up.

No worries :-) I may have gotten a bit carried away too, so you see in this story, no one is completely innocent :p For point (3), we should look at the logs:
That would give us a clearer idea of why the server is crashing.
Dapper and Edgy are still two super old versions of Ubuntu, so it's a bit of a shame to stick with them. If your /home and / are on two different partitions, you can reinstall Gutsy over / (and keep your /home), which will save you from having to do a migration via /etc/apt/sources.list and your package manager. Especially since migrations to new versions of Ubuntu often come with some headaches.
Good luck!
