True, esp if a user with a clean-ish install is getting a lot of invalid 
page faults (read: segfaults) and/or general protection faults (read: 
kernel panics).

I have seen several systems that have slightly bugged L2 cache which 
must be disabled during install, but the systems work fine the rest of 
the time under both OSen. Never have been able to explain that, since 
even a dd between two disks doesn't seem to crash them.
