I fully agree, windows 2000 has been much more stable IMO than linux has ever
been (I used redhat 5.2-6.1 for ~2 years).
I think maybe it was gnome and KDE that hung, especially the first versions were
very unstable.

However windows ME and the 9x series were just as bad, consumers should ask for
a refond;)
