What a laugh. My system, running FreeBSD, is more stable than my apartmentmate's system running OS/2. The only reasons my machine goes down are for backups, and the power failures that Palo Alto Power is so fond of. (This means it goes down around two times a month, in general.) The most stable system I've ever used was XENIX/386, from SCO. But I've got my FreeBSD-1.1++ system running stable enough for me to go away for a couple of weeks at a time, and be reasonably able to expect to come back to a system that has stayed up that entire time.
