What exactly was happening? 'crash' is a bit vague.
If your video chipset really is that bad, putting in a cheap but more compatible video card would work around that.
The linux distros would often lock up randomly and stop responding, forcing me to do a hard restart. I could never use a linux os for more than fifteen minutes without that happening. Last time I checked, a few months ago, linux developers were discussing the bug, an issue with the intel graphics, on the site where they discuss bugs and all (I forgot the web address) but were making no headway; I searched the internet recently and couldn't find a proper fix or update for the bug either. Hmm, if possible I'd like an OS which will run with that hardware.

linux::distribution::packages
Linux::Distribution::Packages(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Linux::Distribution::Packages(3pm)
NAME
Linux::Distribution::Packages - list all packages on various Linux distributions
SYNOPSIS
use Linux::Distribution::Packages qw(distribution_packages distribution_write);
$linux = new Linux::Distribution::Packages({'format' => 'csv', 'output_file' => 'packages.csv'});
$linux->distribution_write();
# Or you can (re)set the options when you write.
$linux->distribution_write({'format' => 'xml', 'output_file' => 'packages.xml'});
# If you want to reload the package data
$linux->distribution_packages();
DESCRIPTION
This is a simple module that uses Linux::Distribution to guess the linux distribution and then uses the correct commands to list all the
packages on the system and then output them in one of three formats: native, csv, and xml.
Distributions currently working: debian, ubuntu, fedora, redhat, suse, gentoo, slackware, redflag.
The module inherits from Linux::Distribution, so can also use its calls.
EXPORT
None by default.
TODO
* Add the capability to correctly get packages for all recognized distributions. * Seperate out parsing from writing. Parse data to hash
and give access to hash. Then write the formatted data from the hash.
