We've been running on RedHat distribution (starting with 5.2 or so) and
Slackware before that for the last few years (currently running mysql
3.23.32... that update bug introduced in 3.23.34 really spanked us hard,
we'll be moving to "latest" again soon).
Currently, we've got dual and quad PII and PIII machines with upwards of
2GB of memory averaging around 400 queries/second (150-400 sessions at any
given time). Our mysql uptime depends on how often we do software
or hardware upgrades, not on mysql "mean time to crash".
Translated: our mysql servers run for weeks/months.
I consider our mysql databases to be very stable. :)
