        I did (under Redhat 7.0).  It didn't suspend properly after that.
(There was a bug report on RedHat about it, upshot was to rollback to 3.3.6.
Under 3.3.6 X froze up several times a day under heavy use.  There was a
bug report on that, but no resolution.)

        I have decided that Redhat is very, very bad and I am now using
debian (as per Thomas Hood's advice) and am very happy.  Haven't tried
4.0 again, but things seemmuch more stable under debian.
