Fedora Stable?

fedorafan2 · #1 6th April 2007, 07:36 AM

I have an older PC running FC 5 it has 128mb of ram and a pentium 2 processor. I have it configured as a web/mail server and am having some problems. It seems to crash about once every 1-2 weeks and has to be manually restarted. This is VERY inconvenient as i do a lot of traveling and cant always restart it. Is it crashing because I have a configuration problem or Fedora is just not very stable? Any ideas on what might be causing this weekly crash would be greatly appreciated.

You can check the log status in /var/log directory to see what caused the crash. I assume you run in text mode. Also try to update the package to see if the problem will go away.

Depending on the load you put on it, it may be killing stuff when it runs out of memory. Check the logs.
