Think Linux is ultrastable compared to other operating systems? Think again

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=20412

I just read the above article talking about how Linux is the embedded OS in all of these devices.  Well, I own a Linksys A/B/G Access Point and Router hooked into my cable modem.  If Linux is so stable, why do I have to go and reboot the Linksys router about once a week?  BTW, I've got the latest firmware installed on the device.

I've never seen an operating system that didn't fail.  I've seen Windows, OS/2, Unix, Linux, Mac, OS/400, and other operating systems all fail.

Same in my case. Linksys hangs at least once a week.

OK, now you have me intrigued. I too own a A/B/G AP, I just recently stared using the A channel and have had to reboot the AP occasionally now.

I never connected the two untl just now.
