Linux is not more stable!!!!
I recently installed mandrake 8.1 and the install went over without a hitch. But now I begin to notice problems similar to windows. First Konquerer would crash on me for no apparent reason. Second I crashed the OS twice in one day, just by trying to fix the system clock. Finally after the computer was on for three days straight, the modem just stopped working. I had to reboot to get it to work again. Gee this seems a lot like windows 98. Maybe before you linux lovers praise linux, you should warn others that it has problems too.
Slow: sometimes ; stable: yes

I'am impressed.
My Linux box never crashed (some prog's may have caused some trouble, but I never had to reboot the thing for it). I can _not_ present some stats cause I don't let the thing use power for nothing. I'am *green* you see. I switch it of from time to time. Don't shoot me for that.
I believe linux is stable (even on a slow box), at least more then Windowz.

Nothing's wrong with that theory but *NIX is made for uptime. That's why we win the uptime wars against NT and such. What sucked for me was working at a place where the NT admins assigned the reboots (before we got there) and was rebooting the unix boxes, all of them, even the single DNS server (with no secondary, meaning network DNS resolving and booting was down because it was also the bootp server), every week. Why? Because NT has to be rebooted all the freaking time. You'll learn soon enough that you won't have to have it off at all. Last I heard, the longest uptime for a linux box (not unix) was 7 years or something. Yes, it is stable, yes it can go for days and days and days...
But if you want some configuration tips to ensure its performance is the best you can get, feel free to ask.

The big diifference between Linux and Windows is the price. Linux is free! You can't argue with that...
