-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a machine here (hmm, this is OT since it's not actually a laptop, but...my poor excuse is that access to it is almost exclusively by ssh from my laptop. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket! :-)
Anyway, I suspect that it has some bad RAM. Programs just sporadically crash on it (with a segfault, most often). Shell scripts, emacs, vncviewer, a browser, you name it, they all run sometimes and crash sometimes. Sometimes they crash right away, sometimes they run for a while. Bleh. Unreliable computers are really bad news. - - Are there other possibilities? - - Are there any Linux tools that I can use to test the integrity of physical RAM?
