I've kernel panic'ed X.2 myself once but I have to admit that I really gave it a hard time. :D However, I have to say (judging from my own experience) that OS X is as stable as Linux.

I've never used OSX before, but from my experience with linux, i've never even heard of a kernel panic occur. every once in a while a program will crash and close (konqueror, mozilla, gimp), but i've never heard of the kernel itself going down.
Pantso:
I've never had a kernel panic in Linux either. I forgot to mention that the kernel panic in OS X had something to do with upgrading my iBook's RAM and has never occured since then. Keep in mind also that I've been using OS X for four months now and haven't experienced a crash of any kind (even in applications). I guess I was just lucky or something.
xyle_one:
the worst i have experienced in osX was finder fooking up, which was easily resolved. i just restarted it
i have had a few apps crash, like chimera and flash, but i havent brought the system down. i have never had to restart the computer. whereas with windows, reagardless of which version, explorer crashes and takes the whole system down. or a program crashes and i have to reboot the computer. windows sucks (we all know that). period.
I havent crashed linux either, like osx, ive had programs mess up, but it never takes the whole system down.
and windows stupid patches and security fixes do nothing but cause more problems than they solve. a patch for a patch is not very stable. and then patching that problem will just introduce some more problems. its never ending. at work, we were setting up a computer and put 2000 on it, and then updated everything from microsofts update site. that system was very unstable. i eventually had to reinstall (big big surprise there) and decided to not update anything. it ran better. not good, but better. it still crashed way too much.
SAJChurchey:
My installation of Win2k adv. server crashes every other day like clock work (apx. 9:00 p.m. est). I get the blue screen w/ physical memory dump that takes about 10 min. to reboot safely (b/c of my 1GB of RAM).
I have two firewalls configured to make sure Windows doesn't send out or receive any unauthorized packets. (Call me paranoid)
Stryker:
heh, i just noticed the irony that his member # is 2000. can this just be a coincidence? okay, not my best post, but this isn't the best thread anyways... just thought i'd point that out.
