Just out of curiousity, how many users were connected and running proce=
sses at the time of these "crashes". One of the points missed by many U=
NIX types is that when a box goes down it normally affects more than on=
e person - that is why they are called "multi-user". If say 20 users ar=
e running processes at the time of the crash, then 10 crashes over 4 ye=
ars equals 50 user/crashes per year or about the equivalent of 1 user/c=
rash every 7 days - my Mac runs MUCH longer than that between crashes!
