redhat 9.0 stability problems
i'm very new to linux, so please excuse my ignorance. i have redhat 9.0 running kernel 2.4.20-9 and after hearing so much about how linux is so much more stable than windows, i was surprised by multiple programs locking up on me. i'm almost positive it'd be different if i had a better idea of what i was doing, but from what i can tell, i've installed the programs and the os properly and programs like xine, rpm, mozilla, and a few others lock up if i do certain things. when i type uname -a in console i see i686, i386, and athlon, and i'm running an 3000xp athlon. should all of those match? so much of linux is completely alien to me since i came from dos/win98/winxp so any help would be appreciated. on a side question how do you set emu10k1 drivers for 4 speaker output? i've dled emu-tools and searched around myself to try to figure it out, but its probably in some random config in some seemingly random place.
thanks
