If you want ultimate stability use NetBSD, wouldn't recommend it for a
desktop but as a Server goes its the balls! Man I got one thats been up for
over a 1000days! I think what I'm trying to say in a round about fashion is
this...

I think it is you rather than the distro... I upgrade loads of boxes
everyday that run Arch/FreeBSD/Solaris you name it! (Even a couple of
Windows 2003!) and never had a problem, ok maybe that small one we had a few
weeks ago but anybody that is tuned in has the News on the front of
archlinux.org on a RSS feed, so before it was even a problem I had the
solution. I really annoys me seeing people distro hop because Distro A, does
this and Distro B, does that when in practice if they would spend the time
reading, and learning about the various features of there chosen distro they
would be much happier.

There is to much of a mentality to hand hold.... you know the sort, Ubuntu,
Windows.... if you want that use them. Arch is DIY and most BSD's are as
well. As Arch takes alot from BSD.
