Stability: I'll let you know if I have a crash. I have had the odd problem
here and there, but never anything actually caused by my YDL box.
Configuration isn't too much of a pain, and it's very fast. I found for the
most part any difficulty I was having was usually me not knowing the very
easy command to do what I wanted. Anyhow, I've had my server in production
for 6 months now, and even when the rest of our infrastructure is blowing up
all around it, it stays up and running.
