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!
