My computer on the other hand is running FC4 and has never crashed from the day I installed FC4. I had to restart it a couple of times though. Currently : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uptime 18:30:42 up 115 days, 8:46, 9 users, load average: 0.58, 0.42, 0.36 And still I like Arch better and think that my home troubles are somewhat related to my hardware configuration there and to the fact the JVM runs 24/7 there... ;)
