Hey you have clearly gone long back in time - gdb doesn't work for you, linux kernel on SMP is a joke - all retro talk. It's 2005 - wake up!! Linux has near perfect SMP scalability today - it works fine on a 512 CPU Itanium.
As far as stability goes - If you run well tested vendor kernels Linux should be *rock* stable even under heavy load. To the point of debugging - I dont know if you know much of kdb, kgdb and gdb itself. You could even debug Linux kernel on the ethernet. And to the point of debug version of airplane - I am sure today's airplanes do not have onboard debugging facilities and pilots are no big fans of doing things such as suspending the engine midway in the journey to see if the sound coming is from the engine - if engine is making noise while the plane is flying, it's game over there. People should have cared about testing the engine *before* the flight. Thank god Sun is not into making airplanes! ;) Ok. I call quits - I am convinced you guys are biased and don't know enough details/facts for the argument to be objective and unbiased.
