People claiming that BSD is "more reliable" should read the above statement.

Most Linux users that I have talked to have never had a Linux crash. Those
that have usually have had fixes to the problem with a week.

Some people have reported crashes due to SCSI and networking, but from what I
have seen *most* of these are cleared up now.
