About 20 years ago I would occasionally install Linux. For a couple years I couldn't get it to install. It would freeze. I thought it was a bad hard drive, or something about Linux had changed. Someone mentioned "memtest" and sure enough, I had a bad memory stick. It was so strange. I used Windows 95% of the time. It didn't freeze (even when installing it). But, for some reason Linux touched that bad memory in a way that caused my computer to hang. I would have never thought of memory if someone hadn't mentioned it. (Even after experiencing it, I don't think testing memory would come to mind very quickly.). Mark
