        My Windows 95 machines (Pentium 200, 64mb) have crashed from
clicking the start button.  If your Linux machine is crashing, you're an
idiot, and if you're reseting it manually that's irrelevant.  Linux is
hardly the most stable form of Unix but it's 10 times more stable than any
version of Windows.  I run OpenBSD and Linux, my machines are only off
when the power is out.
