It seems to be related to what machine you actually have. I run a B180 as my network gateway, handling firewall, web, postfix/postgrey/spamassassin at quite a high volume on a domain. I also used to run it with a PCMCIA wireless card just for chuckles and grins (although I stopped that two years ago when I got a linksys). It runs debian testing and has been completely stable. I only reboot it for updates and in the seven or so years I've been doing this, I haven't had any segfaults or crashes ... have to say I only started using debian kernels on it for the last four or so years, because there used to be big problems with the ones they built. > Just to say that I'm personally not so unhappy with deb hppa, and > that not everything is bad. I think the main class of problem machines are anything with SMP ... unfortunately, I don't have one, so can't verify.
