hey ITU, why not say that is your opinion. cause it ain't mine. 
and damn that was the least helpful reply I have seen. I am suprised you 
would waste your time typing that.

It's open source and the QA is tons better than a company that keeps it's 
stuff secert, but the secret probly keeps "know it alls" form screwing up 
stuff and blaming it on "qa" in open source, everyone is QA. it behaves 
differently for different folks BECAUSE it CAN (same reaason male dogs lick 
their balls). any thing will be different on different hardware. if the user 
had rtfd before installing, and does not think they know it all, then it 
would probly be just as stable as it is here. one guess as to how stuff like 
this could happen is root copied some config file from one user to another 
and did not set the permissions orownership. (I know you don't have to do 
that stuff for your M$ products, but in truth, it is one of the best things 
about GNU linix is it's file security)
