Well sort of. If you ever had an application "unexpectedly quit" then
it crashed, but the system did not crash (as opposed to earlier OSes
where an application crash could bring the whole system down.). A
system crash is more where the whole thing just locks up and you have
to restart or shutdown and re-boot. Run the Console application
(located in your Utilities folder) and check the preferences. One of
them is to enable Console to open immediately and tell you what
happened when an application meets a premature end. It is very useful
for trying to figure out what is going on as you can copy and paste the
log into a email and send it to the developer.
