Ubuntu 11 unstable
Earlier this week, my system decided to install Ubuntu 11 over the previously stable Ubuntu 10. It all seemed to go smoothly at the time but now I find that the system just freezes at random intervals and requires a hard reset to recover it. It has frozen at any time from partway through drawing the initial desktop to several hours of work later. This morning it froze just as it was trying to connect to our wireless network and it messed up the key.
I have not fetched/installed any new utilities and the previously installed stuff still works.
I have prompted it to check for updates every day just in case there was some "correction" issued. Today a few files updated and I have not seen any improvement.
I am not a Unix/Linux/Ubuntu user as such, so any help in a "use words of few sylables, slowly" way would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your interest,
