OS Reliability



I came across this link
http://www.usenix.org/events/hotos03/reports.html

It talks about Os's crashing after a modest amount of time.  It talks 
about FreeBSD being a bit more stable than linux because of it's 
"...small set of principles extensively used, and a sense of taste of 
what is good practice...".  This got me thinking, has anyone ever seen 
OpenBSD crash as a result of something that can proved to not be a fault 
of the admin or hardware?  I haven't.  In fact the only time I have ever 
"had to" reboot was when cdrecord locked up the cd-rom and wouldn't 
eject (not the fault of OBSD of course).

What's your mileage?
