>My last crash of the Linux kernel was in Sept of 1997, and it was my programmer fault. I created an infinite loop in some C++ code, which left me no way out but to reboot. I've had several apps crash because I run beta apps a lot, as part of the community debug effort, but I've rarely lost KDE (the GUI desktop) and haven't lost the kernel since 1997. I can only speak about my experience with the SuSE distro, cause I haven't used any others since 1997, but installing is simply putting a CD into the drive, booting, and answering a few questions. "Setting up correctly" isn't a problem any more, for me anyway. I've got a 3 station network at home running the internet off a Cisco 675 acting as my DHCP server and feeding the firewall PC, which also doubles as my wife's workstation. The whole thing was setup mainly by clicking buttons. I even recompile my kernel's at times, just experimenting around, and have never had a kernel panic or failure to boot. Stability isn't just a word

Yeah.. Well... I suppose it goes without saying what I'd like to see from MSFT. <g>

They still pay the bills though...
