Re: Help! E/Gnome system crash

[Aaron Prohaska <verdesoft verdesoft net>]

Thanks for the help everyone, I did get my system up and running again.
Though I am hesitant to try and run gnome again. Is there anything I can
check or do to find out why gnome/E locked up? What kind of log files
are there to look at and where might they be?

Thanks,

Aaron
