Really depends on the hardware, I've been running a BeagleBone White 
with FreeBSD 10 now for several months with an MQTT (mosquitto) Queue as 
part of a hierarchical queue setup. This system collects data with a 
bridging daemon from Tinkerforge nodes, which is subsequently pushed to 
the mosquitto queue. This setup is running as quiet and stable as you 
could wish for, boot and forget. This is of course very network centric, 
almost no disk involved besides logging.
