I've been running the same install of Ubuntu since 2007 with 0 issues. I've replaced the main hard drive doing a dd to migrate, swapped the entire MB/CPU/RAM and Video card, booted right up no issues. I run a raid 5 mdadm setup, with 0 issues took 5min to setup the first time been working since. Upgrading to the latest mainstream releases and package updates automatically along the way. I get the anti Linux sentiment I use to use Gentoo before Ubuntu/Debian became so viable and it was/is painful to say the least. I'm not going to say I always agree with everything Canonical does with Ubuntu but I could make the same argument for OSX and Ubuntu has been amazingly stable. So to anyone out there on the fence with OSX and fearing Windows, Linux is so much better these days. Approaching the ease of OSX.
