The main problem is the drivers. 99 times out of 100 they're the part responsible for instability.
Given what little I know, this appears to be the crux of the argument. Depending on volunteers to reverse engineer drivers for Linux for devices for which there are only WIndows drivers is bound to be problematic. The fact that Linux + X works as well as it does in light of the lack of manufacturer-provided drivers is a testament to the inherent stability of Linux + X and the skill of those who write free drivers. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing"
