Horsepucks!  Show me the UNIX manuals for Linux, and I don't mean the
online ones! Show me more than a half dozen 4+ processor Linux boxes that
have been up more than 90 days under fairly extreme mission-critial use.
There's thousands of Sun boxes with those stats - hell, the Pentium Pro
has hardly been out long enough to try to prove your point, and neither
has Linux 2.x.
