Well, his server used to crash with some older kernels (2.2.13ac1
IIRC).

I do run X 24x7, with Gnome and Enlightenment and several fairly heavy
apps (Netscape, XEmacs, vmware...), including a random
screensaver. And I also run cpu-intensive tasks (2 ecdl clients -
rc5-like stuff, xmms, plus the occasional compilation).
My box is quite stable with 2.2.13ac3 + reiserfs, and it was not too
bad with 2.2.13 either, but some combinations of 2.2.14, reiserfs and
ide patches made it crash within minutes. By the way, setting noapic
did not help AFAICT. My point is, even if software is not the whole
issue, it looks like it can help, or at least it can make things break
much faster.
