Want something a bit more secure and a bit less crashy (in terms of fatal crashes ubuntu has just overtaken os x 10.5 after doing a clean install of 7.10 by crashcount, with windows xp and 2003 coming way behind as the most stable.)
Suggestions?

I rate Mepis highly, its very similar to kubuntu but different enough. Its the only distro I have found where you can connect to a wireless network with a broadcom wireless chip using a live cd with no configuration necessary. Not ever a fresh install of Windows could do that.
I still havn't tried the 64 bit version yet but hope to soon.
ps did you see my pm.

I've yet to have ubuntu crash on me, despite tinkering with it  Never had FreeBSD crash on me either and I've really played around with that one Have made XP BSOD on the odd occasion  _________________  The Pancreas of S.T.F.U. | Never take life too seriously - nobody gets out alive anyway.
