One way to get an OS that does not have Linux kernel hang problems

Some quick searches on my mailbox didn't get me much (and I'm woefully
behind in this box), but if there's a thread on this I'd love to see
it. I'm curious where this assumption of linux having a bug that makes
it hang on HP 64bit hosts came from. We've been running hundreds of
such systems for several years now and rarely have issues. Uptimes have
been very good, mostly only limited by the below reasons or our reboots
for patching & OS installs.
The only real hangs we ever see on these hosts at all are from either:
1. Users massively running the box out of ram/swap so fast the kernel
can't handle it. 2. Serious bugs that are triggerd.. like a kernel bug
related to tcp NFS mounts and in-band NFS/wan/tcp applicanes (that
optimize wan links or obfuscate nfs servers behind them for "live" data
migrations).
You failed to read the whole message. In particular, the last paragraph:

A few words of enlightenment would be appreciated. I will bring the
laptop with OpenSolaris to the InstallFest on Saturday, if anyone
wants to poke around.

The essential part being that the machine in question is a laptop. And
he did bring it to the Installfest today and demonstrated OpenSolaris
running GNOME desktop.
