	Ahem. I admit that 'my' system doesn't serve as many users than
	Cor's, but its 386BSD *was* very stable too. Max uptime was
	something like 60 days, but now it has started to reboot/hang
	every other day or so.

	On the other hand, our NetBSD system does a reboot every time 
	someone uses commands like 'w' or 'ps' if machine has been
	idle for some time.

	Perhaps I should try FreeBSD then?
