I was having some wierd crashing problems too, mostly on kernel compiles (got to the point where I had to compile kernels for my firewall on another machine). I was averaging 2 day uptimes (still better than most W95 machines) Suspecting a hardware problem, I swapped my sound card, video card, IDE driver, serial port driver (It was also crashing whenever I tried to access the serial ports), until I finally swapped a 486 motherboard for my pentium motherboard and my memory failed the boot check. I now have two 16 meg simms sitting on my desk and check out my uptimes
