Theoritically speaking every system has a threshold of breakdown. Try this on u're linux box Do this only if are very bored and have nothing else to do. Just keep on executing bash prompts one after the other. i.e. keep typing bash Sooner or later the system will hang. There wasn't even any intelligent swapping mechanism which could save it. I first tried it on my home pc Pentium 100, 32 MB RAM, linux 2.2.14 It wasn't a redhat system when i though of abusing it but something i installed by hand using loadlin and initrd. After abt 100 or so instances of bash were into life, The system was just spinning the hard disk There was no swapping. I waited for around 15 mins, but no response. Sam result on my office PC (ssh..... ) :) Pentium 111, 128 MB RAM, linux 2.4.2 Which goes to prove that all systems are abusable. Which of course has nothing to so with what u said abt XP. I don;'t even use windows. I just use quake1 on DOS.
