I've been using Linux for two years now.. I've been able to bring it down 
4 maybe 5 times.  Three of these times I was doing something under 
DOSEMU.. The other one or two were when I tried to use X with no ram left 
and it swapped itself to a halt.. I guess that means Linux is a better pick 
than even Win95.. :)

No worse than letting Windows corrupt my programs by crashing while 
they're in use.. It's happened..
