Funny, I have never had a problem with the above mentioned sites for over 2
- 3 years on various versions of Ubuntu.
As of now, I am using ubuntu 9.10 and still have never faced this problem.
Ofcourse I use FireFox as my web browser.

Which browser do you use?

The other minor annoyances include frequent garbling of screen that

Never have I faced such a problem!

Can you give us details of the hardware you use?
