I have a few Linux box's running. I think a great deal is how its set up.
You can really take the time and care to put the machine together and OS,
the pay off will be great. Not all OS's but alot can run stable. or at least
seem that way, my e-smith gateway server has been up for weeks with no
reboot, and runs like a dream.
build on redhats distro with specifics for gateway.
