47 It acted like I had no internet connection at all. The lights on my
48 modem didn't even blink nor did the router. The browser responded to me
49 switching tabs and such tho.

65 When I open Konsole, it asks for the root password from the start. I
66 always open it as root since that is where I do emerges and such as
67 that. I also edit some files in /etc using it too. It is inside the
68 regular GUI login tho. My point was, it was using root permissions to
69 run ping and such when I tested it. Just in case it could be a
70 permissions thing. I don't use sudo here.

94 Well, I'm not sure about my UPS. It could be old school usb1. My mouse
95 and keyboard is PS/2 tho.
96
97 One additional note. It has ran all day with no problems that I have
