Actually, I'm more kp'ing away these days....  =:)  But yah, I noticed that 
too.  I'm guessing it might be because there's not all that many people using 
the combination of ubuntu, an apple powerbook, and a palm pilot all at the 
same time.  =:/

If it happens again, I will write down what I see.  It's happened to me twice 
already and both times, it takes me out of X, brings me to a VC and presents 
me with a weird message and what looks like a prompt, though nothing that I 
type is recognized.  =:/  I realize this is the kind of bug reporting more 
popularly known as "useless", but it _only_ happened twice to me so far and 
both times I was more focused on finishing what I was so ungraciously 
interrupted from doing than on figuring out what new and exciting thing Linux 
was giving me an opportunity to learn about.  =;)

Heh.  Not so much.  =:)
