I was just speaking in general; X-server crashes, (solvable) kernel
panics, mouse driver (wtf...), etc. Not talking critical or disastrous
failures here, just that it messed up.
The failings in Plan 9 have usually been the result of drivers (go
figure) and have been much smaller than issues encountered with Unix.
Usually its just small differences between the generic chip-set Plan 9's
driver was written for and the chip-set being used.
