You wanna expand on that a bit, Bo?

Cause, in my 23 years of experience, I've *never* had a user break a
*nix machine.  Ever.  I'm only had 6 panics in that time, and 4 of them
were bad hardware.  1 a bad driver, and I never did trace down the
other one.

Average uptime: until we had to change some piece of hardware; usually
every 6-9 months; I have broken a year a few times.

My last Linux install: SuSE 10.2 from DVD.  Human time: about an hour;
machine time, about 2.5 hours.

Cheers,
