I'm sorry... I couldn't help myself.  After several years using linux, 
and dealing with stability problems, I switched to FreeBSD, and since 
then (about 4 yrs ago) I've had no problems.  My code actually runs 
faster and I don't have to deal with several FreeBSD distributions.  If 
I have to hack an OS kernel or distribution in order to make it work, 
then I don't want it.  That's why I switched to Freebie.
