I have been running this same hardware non-stop for more than SIX YEARS and other than the occasional reboot for kernel (or distro) upgrades, it has not crashed more than 1 or 2 times in 2237 days of cumulative uptime. Nothing other than background processes were running at the time of the crash.
Could this be a coincidence or was there some 2008/2009 rollover issue going on here?
Has anyone (other than Zune 30GB owners http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/31/1428254) noticed similar year-end issues with their computers or electronic devices?"
