Not to shabby for something built by poor ole "hackers".
I guess that the many, many universities that run Linux servers
day after day with no lockups, blue screens, and such just
got lucky also.
Now if the system had been built by true professionals (non hackers) you
would see
something like (my favorite) "unknown new device found please insert
driver disk from the manufacturer" and then have to restart the computer
a dozen or
so times..
How utterly stupid is that?
