All the Sun's I've had to deal with are very reliable, and the IBM's are
pretty good two, but considering the vintage of the one on my desk at work,
I can't say much either way on IBM's since I've not worked on a modern
system (it was old 3 years ago when I started working there, but I won't
give it up becuase it would be replaced with an NT box).
Well, I lost the first Ultra-10 I had within 10 days of it's arrival.
The early IBM PCI 133mhz Power PC boxes had wierd problems without logging
any errors in the errorlog. OS patches fixed that one around AIX 4.1.3.
Following a board swap my machines ran for a year without a crash.
Most of my Ultras have been pretty relable as far as hardware.
