What a crock.  I have Linux boxen that are more stable than any other OS
with the exception of NetBSD.  The biggest problem with Linux is that
*most* people run it on an intel platform which sucks to begin with.  You
put it on something stable liek a Sparc, and it's great.
Now in the past Linux had some problems, but for sure it has come a LONG
way and it's growing faster than *any* other unix like os anywhere.  All
this ranting about Linux being bad is like complaining about tires when
the last one you used was in the stone age and carved out of a rock.  Grab
a recent version/distro and try it - you might be pleasently
suprised.
