I don't understand what you are trying to say here; can you explain what
you mean? Linux is currently being used in real-world mission-critical 
applications. Perhaps those using it should hear your warning, if you 
would care to explain it -

I have been looking for ways to move more and more services from Sun
machines to linux machines, emboldened and encouraged by the spectacular
successes and rock-solid reliability I've seen so far...

But after your statement, well, I just don't know - help me out here..
