I just went out and checked the two boxes in my hobby shed that I have dedicated to the task of folding protein for Stanford's Folding at Home project. For the second time this week the Windows XP box had to be rebooted and the program on the Windows XP box had to be restarted (Windows XP inexplicably freezes up at least twice and sometimes three times a week).

The Novel SUSE linux SLED 10 box was still serenely folding away without pause, complaint, or hiccup like it did the first day I spun it up about four months ago and as it has every day since.

And your son works for Suse/Novell, correct? Sorry but that's hardly an unbiased opinion.
