Absolutely. We've run a data acquisition and control system using a Debian 1.2 machine. Since the project started about 15 months ago, typical uptimes have been 50-60 days with reboots due to hardware adjustments or our own mistakes in daq, along with the occasional longterm power failure. Never had the Debian end of the software crash. Mike -- Michael A.
