    I can imagine the shit in the pants of a neophyte who sees "kernel panic" on their screen.

    "Linux Users: A System Administrator's Guide" would be more acclaimed.

    I have seen some recently on winXP pro and they actually were due to hardware issues, so yeah they still exist, but nothing like their glory days of the win9x series. Beating the "BSOD" joke to death is old hat and really not current for a current book.

    OTOH, my new book "Saying goodbye to Exception Errors and emm386 by moving to Linux" should be on bookshelves soon.
