I've been running two FreeBSD systems for over seven years each. I've had to do a grand total of *ONE* reboot that I can remember, aside from powering down to swap hardware, update the kernel, or to move the equipment. It's a damn stable OS....FreeBSD is rock solid. I have absolutely no need to plan for a kernel panic.
who the hell gave this a 5 karma? ok, running a couple machines for seven years or even 100 years with one reboot says NOTHING about freebsd's kernel capability or strength.
If you really want to give us some bragging material for freebsd and how kernel panic issues are unimportant, mention how much time your system(s) spend in kernel mode. Mention what hardware your kernel has to deal with. Are you using modules? What kind of filesystems are you using? Out of your "15-20 processes per second", do any of those process require a lot of paging? How much? How long do these processes last? Can your machine handle 65535 processes?
you people make me sick the way you say your [insert OS here] is soooooooooooo stable, yet give no facts to back it up, just ONE or TWO cases out of the thousands of systems out there running the same OS (and kernel) in thousands of different environments. How do we know your OSs arent in a clean lab? We don't. How do we know the system will hold up in another totally different environment ? we don't. But we'll take your word for it since you have a couple fast computers on a fast DSL connection, running maybe a couple daemons, and because you have a 5 karma. Man, you don't realize how good you have it. You're situation is 100x easier to handle than the environments in all the fortune 500 corps. Anyway, I'm ranting, but trust me, EVERY *NIX is susceptible to kernel panics.
Obviously you don't subscribe to freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org or you would have seen several kernel panic bugs mentioned during the past seven years.

Yeah, that sounds good in theory, but would the dmv let you renew your license? Prolly not until you give them your fingerprints which then get secretly copied to their "private" server in their underground base next to the FBI's SAS server.
In case you were actually serious,or anybody else out there getting ideas, remember that your fingerprints/retina/anal cavity structure/dna can be "modified", thus destroying the copywritten object. For example, and this is not offtopic since it *could* be "yet another dumb idea that doesn't hold up", I found this on some "questionable" web site...dont know if its true..but:
(http://www.totse.com/en/privacy/privacy/161541.ht ml) Many people believe that finger prints can be made different when wanting to hide your tracks but you don't need to cut up your finger at all... in fact here is a way to disfigure your fingerprints without shedding any blood... all you need is a pineapple -- not that canned shit -- a real pineapple. Cut little slices out of the pineapple and then place them on a table, then take a needle and dig three little holes on the
surface of your skin, then place your fingers on the slices of pineapples and leave them there for 30 minutes. The acid in the pineapple will eat away your prints and change them. This process may be a little painful, from the acid, but you can handle it.
