Anybody who says that Linux *applications* never crash is blowing smoke. Anybody who says that X never locks up is, too. Only quite rarely does X lock up hard enough that I can't reset x with CTL-ALT-BACKSPACE, though, whihc is shade less drastic than rebooting (doesn't drop net connections and such). It's the core kernel that doesn't get dragged down with the rest of the system. Linux doesn't do the "blue screen of death" thing. *That's* the difference. vern wrote: > > You know Linux isn't all that different on the > desktop, all it takes is a good reboot and things > are back to normal.
