Oh, I dunno, I monitor my servers (Linux) but not really closely and they don't go down (okay, one crashed two weeks ago - a program had a memory leak and because I hadn't logged onto it for two weeks (I was off work studying for exams) I didn't notice the problem, since been fixed).

Our NT boxen don't crash either - then again they're monitored closely by one of my coworkers who is a very competent NT admin.

But yes, they're all configured properly as well, well that Linux box which crashed is now more properly configured than it was. :) (I expected Redhat to come with a sensible ulimit already in place, it appears that 6.0 doesn't.)

Updated (08:53 UTC): Hmmm, I expect to cop a bit of flak about this one...
