%-> How timely. I came into work early this morning to work on a

I'm curious about this... my Win98 installation is quite old by now (coming
up to two years, unless I'm mistaken) and has had gazillion bits and pieces
of software installed. Despite this, it'll stay up for months on end, and
usually only dies when I run something like a badly-behaved DirectX game
(e.g. Blood 2 with the updates). I've got lots of oddball hardware -- SCSI,
3D accelerator, IDE CD-R drive, DVD, network cards, proprietary ISA scanner
card... even a parallel port dongle. Wonder what am I doing right or wrong?

Linux doesn't crash ever. Well, sometimes KDE freezes the machine to the
point that I have to do a cold reboot, but that's really rare.

Oh, I don't know about that... Mandrake's update thingy works pretty well,
doesn't it? Haven't got an official copy of RH 6.1, so I cannot say if the
RH update agent works or not.
