One of my computers has had Linux installed since Dapper Drake came out. Throughout the years, this computer has been through various updates and has been upgraded all the way to Hardy Heron. I have installed several different themes and removed them. It has been the brunt of many tests, software installs, software removals, backups, restores, and one time it even suffered a power failure due to a thunderstorm in the middle of a critical update.

However, the computer (and Linux) continued to limp along. I really only used it to store some data (this computer has an enormous hard drive in it), run FAH, and play music on. So, as long as it would do those three things I didn't really care what problems it did have. For example: A few months earlier due to some playing around with compiz that the resolution was permanently stuck on 1024X768. After screwing around with some gnome settings my top toolbar was completely missing and unable to be retrieved. Running certain programs such as Totem would instantly make the computer reboot. Every now and then the computer would just completely freeze up for about a minute and then everything would resume as normal. It would no longer recognize my DVD burner. Get the idea? This thing had problems.
