: : I am getting tired of this argument.  When a Mac crashes and someone

: : Unix crashes on poor administration???

When does UNIX crash? I have _never_ had an unrecoverable problem with
linux. Occasionally the MSDOS emulator buggers up & takes the keyboard & display
with it, but i've always been able to kill the process & start up a new
getty on the console (via telnet or com2). The only way that i've seen to kill a UNIX system is
to batter the hell out of it by consuming all the RAM/HDD space or starting
up hundreds of processes and there is very little any OS could do to stop
that (unless it has been properly administrated :-)).
