somebody complained about X stability -- this particular mac mini was running the same cwm, x11, openbsd, without crash or reboot for about
150 days when I packed it away the day I left. I regularly had more
than 30 remote ssh sessions going on, and never lost any of them due to
a GUI failure (though often lost them due to network failure, of
course)

I had complained about it only while running a BBS and/or servers/daemons in the background while X is running. I would get a good week of uptime before something X related would freeze up and require a reboot since none of the breaking keycodes worked for those freezes. :(

If I wasn't running a BBS, web server, ftp server(s), nntp server, and whatever else on the same machine, I would be willing to bet that X would work just fine, stability and all.

Regards,
Nick

Awesome. Didn't think I was going to see another OpenBSD advocate around here. :)
