Wow, someones pretty excited about linux. There are a couple other open
source OS's out there. And there are OS's that are even more stable than
linux. IBM's AS400 mainframes have an uptime of over 99%. I work with
HPUX systems that have been up for years without a reboot. For a secure
OS, you might want to check out http://www.openbsd.org. Another
opensource OS that focuses on security. Freebsd is another opensource
OS that tends to be even more stable and definitely better organized
than linux. Linux definitely has merits -- numerous free apps and support
for all types of hardware, and I think that SuSE is a wonderful
distribution. But there are other options available.
