Stability is a very hardware dependent thing. On a system that we were setting 
up for a client, for some reason, the server would randomly hang at random 
intervals. At first, we tried to swap parts out and run memory burn in tests, 
all unsuccessfully. In the end, we just built a new server box with different 
vendor parts and it worked flawlessly.

Personally, I've not had FF hang on me under Hardy at all. But mine might just 
be an isolated case.
