SMP support in 2.0 kernels is not great. I tried it and had crashes about once
a day. I am now running with a 2.2 kernel under Redhat on the same machine
and it is very stable (multi month uptimes). You can run 2.2 kernels with
slink although I have not done it myself.

The few crashes that I have had with Linux on uniprocessor machines have
always seemed to be X related. I would expect a system without X to extremely
stable.
