Could this be a problem that is only very partially to do with the distro, but to do with the PC itself? For example, if the power supply is being overloaded at times (e.g. a new graphics card has been added that takes a lot of power), could glitches from the PSU be getting to the processor? Or something else to do with the PC that's not happy.....
I've had freezes with Windows and Ubuntu with this PC, sometimes not for ages and then suddenly they start and come all at once (like buses - pardon the pun) :) However, I must say that moving to 2.6.30 a few days ago, and using Ubuntu 9.10 which did have problems before then with 2.6.28, the freezes seem to have now disappeared.....
