Mepis ( and other distros) freezes during various operations
 
[]Below is part of syslog for last startup. i have been getting freezes for no apparent reason during various operations, some programe others while in a shell. It happens in Windows XP as well as a couple of distros I am trying, ArkLinux and Knoppix.

My experience has been that this is a video problem. GUI interfaces need quite a bit of video ram and processing power. You can try lowering your screen resolution or changing the video card to one that does all of the video processing on the card itself or make sure you have the correct drivers installed.
