Whell. The X-server have some hairy hardware axcess so if some app shake
a bug in Your particular X-server the Linux kernel may be helples ;-(

And even if the Linux kernel is extremly fine software I expect ther to be
some buggs still to shake out.

Stability is a relativ thing - Even if the extrem gap betwin Windows and
Unix might get us to think about it in absolute messurs ;-)
