I upgraded to 4.5 a few weeks ago. It crashes on some ocassions but not
that often. Crash might be related to Java stuff. Here is how long it
lasts on my machine:

  8:57pm  up 89 days,  5:37, 16 users,  load average: 0.67, 0.68, 0.56
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
raffi    16140  0.0  0.3 14752   244   2 S   Nov 11   0:02 (netscape)

raffi    16139  0.2 53.6 114972 33920   2 S  Nov 11  29:55 /usr/local/bin/netsca

It looks like there is memory leak somewhere. Each reload shows more
memory being used. I guess it's time to reload it.

The machine is not slow otherwise. Linux box is runing DNS, (currently)
tar on Samba mounted directory (i.e. backing up a windog), a bunch of open
shells (16), and other stuff (MSQL, Apache, Samba) All in 64 MB/P233. 

Linux ROCKS!

By the way, a webmaster forgot his passwd on NT. He is reloading
everything. He doesn't like my comments about how easy it is to take care
of that problem in Linux.
