I've had Nautilus die, but it just re-starts, it doesn't need a hard<br>
reboot to recover.<br>
<br>
Linux just handles the network much better than Windows in my personal<br>
opinion. If I shut off my wireless, and look for a page, I get the<br>
server un-available message. Turn it back on and refresh the page and<br>
usually it comes up immediately. When running Windows, if I turn off the<br>
wireless, and open a page and get the server not available, then turn the<br>
network on, there is a possiblity that Windows will try to re-establish<br>
the connection. Usually I have to display networks before it re-connects.<br>
Even then, refreshing the web page does not give me the page. I have to<br>
shutdown the browser and re-start it before the communications are<br>
re-established.<br>
<br>
It just seems to me that Linux handles networking on a more basic level<br>
than Windows.<br>
<br>
Also, Windows likes to lock files so you can't read them. I don't know<br>
how many times I try to do something to be told that an application has<br>
that file locked, with no way of determining what is locking that file.<br>
Sometimes even with all applications closed, it is till locked and the<br>
only way to free it up is to re-boot.</blockquote><div><br>Unlocker handles this: <a href="http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/">http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/</a> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Why do I use it? The same reason a heck of a lot of other people use it.<br>
There is an application necessary for work that is only available on<br>
windows.<br>
