Yep, that's another one. God only knows why
xine sometimes simply
spins out of control, leaving me with a frozen machine. Thankfully it
happens less with audio apps, but I like watching DVDs on Linux and I
don't like to worry about whether I'm going to make it to the end of
the movie without a major lock-up. It doesn't happen very often, and
it's easy enough to reboot but it's damnably tough to debug.
Pentium II 350MHz with 128Mb RAM can run VLC (Video Lan Client) for
DVDs very well. A few dropped frames, but no lock-up. I'm using the
DeMuDi kernel.
