@Bloodline:
X Crashes non stop for me... Probably due to some dodgy GFX drivers more than X's fault... but once X goes it can take the Keyboard with it and that's it no more Linux session... Reboot time.
Then you need to run sshd
Saved my skin more than once.
I've only really crashed X while trying to run some dodgy svga game or other as root... or when I upgraded X right from under it, while it was running... etc. I think VMWare crashed it once, but can't be sure. I found it fairly stable, considering I have to use Linux 2.4.21-rc2-ac2 just to have my KT400 chipset/ 8x AGP + Radeon 9000 work! BTW Later kernel revisions break my OpenGL apps - they slow down to 1fps (but still seem to be hardware rendered? Software mode works faster?) :/
And a comment about AROS: I like! I've talked to others complaining that the only experimental OSS OS projects out there are just boot loaders or are based on a hacked linux or BSD kernel, well now they have AROS to contend with
This holidays I'm going to sit down and play with the AROS code. Prior experience? I wrote a small RTOS for the M68HC912B32 ('HC12) in about 2KiB of FLASH; it had such amazing features as hybrid rate monotonic/round robin scheduling, malloc(), free(), and printf()
All my own code of course, none of this libc/newlib stuff..
