The systems with more load (news vs no news) crash more often. [1] A couple of observations... If you've had "only" 10 unexpected reboots [1]across 6 machines and that it happens more often on heavy-load machines, [1]does this suggest that some of the machines aren't crashing at all? Uh, 10 crashes per machine, so 60 crashes (average) in one week. As of today, the number of crashes is approaching the 80s. [1] Do you use a screensaver on your machines? No. To save the screens, we use this thing called "a monitor power switch". These are *very* stock systems where the operating system is concerned. Kernels have been recompiled to eliminate drivers not in use, but that is it. Again, X is not in use. C-news, inn, smail and a few other odds and ends are the applications that are present. Some have network boards and drivers loaded, but are not connected to an active network.
