3. Very rock solid stable.
How do you quantify that??  I've got an old Compaq DL380 running
RedHat-7.2 that had 3 outages since it was installed in Sep'01.  The
first outage was due to moving the system, the second was due to me
fooling around with device drivers and the third time was when the
power supply died.  In between it was consistently getting 500+ days
of uptime.  Seems fairly stable to me...
