I usually prepare my servers from source with custom patches and settings. When a server dies on me, it makes a lot of noise in the logs, and it happens rarely. In 30+ years of activity, I have never restarted a production server because of clients using it! NFS is an exception. I am using the obsd default, and it dies on me under load and without logs. It is unreliable.
