Not a crash. It's Compiz Fuzion's wobbly window's effect on the fritz. The only way I would call it a crash would be if Linux ever did the equivalent of a blue screen (the kernel crashing). Honestly in all my years of using Linux, I have never seen a kernel crash...I'm sure it exists, but Jesus...what would you have to do to crash the Linux Kernel...unless you were making unsafe modifications to the kernel.

Shit like this happens with free software like linux, then again windows and apples crash and burn as well, in those cases you paid money for it.
-
Haha, that's most definitely NOT supposed to happen! Quick, Linux fanboys assemble! Explain it away!
-
its not crash, its seems something stuck in vga driver.
-
It didn't crash, something wrong with compiz or graphics card. Don't get me wrong, any OS can crash and burn. Ubuntu just seems to mess up for me more than Windows... but it's cool. I want to try Mac too.

Looked like you fucked up Compiz, or your graphics card can't handle it.

That HAS happened to me though. I'm a noob with ubuntu and wanted to try it out on my gateway 7330gz. It just freezes at random times and i have to manually shut it down. Any ideas on what I can do to make it stop doing that?

Its not problem with Linux, its problem with compiz...

Don't confuse a window manager glitch with a Linux glitch! A crashing app never brings down the kernel, unlike with some proprietary OSes out there.
A *real* Linux crash involves a painful grinding freeze of the system and flashing Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs on your keyboard. This clearly isn't the case.
A WM crash can be fixed with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (the "zap" sequence). A kernel crash involves pushing the big red POWER button.
