But is it unstable because betas are inherently unstable, or have you actually 
had it crash? I mean, is is to be considered unstable just because it's 1.3.x, 
or has somebody actually had problems?

I've had 1.3.35 running for two weeks uptime, and all up I've been running it 
for probably about six weeks I think. I've never had any crashes; when I 
reboot, it's only because I've fiddled with the kernel, installed patches, or 
want to fiddle with the hardware, etc.
