- Well, I have been running a UMC board since day one that 0.1 came
- out, and I have been very pleased. Until I brought my machine
- onto the local campus network, it was VERY stable, with uptimes
- of weeks. However, with the added load of NFS, remote logins and
- such, it hasn't been quite a stable, but I doubt very much that
- my chipset has anything to do with it.
