I have used a variety of Linux distros for about six years now. I have
NEVER seen a Linux system crash short of a hardware problem. That is a
non-issue with any distro.
Counterexamples exist, even if they are rare:
Mandriva had an update kernel a year or three ago with an
incomplete application of a patch. A certain Java program I
wrote and was trying to use, run by a non-root user, could
cause a kernel panic with full register and stack dump to
the screen.
Another Mandriva update kernel would hang, locked up solid,
when a USB device went offline or was plugged in. (I forget
which action caused the hang.)
Other distros likely have their counterexamples, too.
