I find it interesting that someone would say BSD crashes more than Windows. Long ago I tired of people whining about Windows crashing since I don't too often have the issue. XP has crashed, hung, froze, whatever, but not often enough to aggravate me if I have enough memory (unlike this 512Mb notebook I have now).

I'm surprised, maybe shocked, anyone would say BSD crashes more. Since my novice days 3 1/2 years ago, I've never had FreeBSD crash, hang, freeze or anything beyond my own doing. And I'm an experimenter unafraid to "see what happens when I do this". I've had boxes run for months and boxes not crash during lightning storms while all the Windows boxes shutdown.

I'm just very, very surprised to hear anyone say otherwise.
