nice, replace the admin or the hardware then :)
i'm working with linux (servers, routers, firewalls) for 6 years, and except
some bad hardware (mostly bad ram) there was no misterious crashes at all.

no, if you have working drivers... same for linux.
i don't use that s3 shit, so i have no crashes by scrolling.
and if s3 would release driver or chip level docs, there would be working
driver... imho it's the job of the hw manufacturer to develop drivers, and
blaming the OS because of missing/buggy drivers is just dumb behaviour.

anyway i saw windows crashing when it tried to play the welcome audio sound,
just because of buggy audio drivers...
