So I simply think that my computer does not work on the Linux side. 
Windows boots and runs perfectly under all conditions. Mandrake stopped 
booting correctly two weeks ago. If you wiggle the screen just right 
Mandrake will run if not it will crash. Bussy could not get cover off to 
fix system so took it local Linus computer shop. They were amaised too 
that computer runs Windows and crashes on Mandrake. An issue that 
started two or maybe it was three weeks back.

Some how people have the opinion that becaus Windows is crappy most of 
the time it is crappy all the time and that since Linux is good most of 
the time it is never bad. Not true I have lots of instances of where 
Linux failed usually do to something stupid but it still failed. Linux 
is not perfect; if it was then there would be no need to do development.

As far a loose, hell you can hear it rattle. So something is loose. What 
I do not know. That is a next week's problem. This week"s is to make the 
new desktop network work.
