'92 was Linux ... '92 moved to BSDi since Linux was lucky to run for more then an hour once connected to the Internet ... '94 (or '95) moved to FreeBSD since BSDi changed their pricing structuremaking it near impossible to afford for 'the little man' ... As for 'similar periods' ... you know, I've been running -STABLE on desktops and low end servers over the past 5 years at the Univesrity, slowly replacing Solaris as the applications they run permit ... so far, in 5 years, I've *yet* to be burnt, but none of these are running near as heavy load ... so no, other then on venus/jupiter, I haven' tnot seen similar periods of instability ...
