Thats pretty relative to be honest. I remember using a variety of Linuxes back then and being pretty unhappy with the results. Stability was barely a possibility. Compared to SunOS it was like Windows 3.x

I had a bunch of Linux servers in the mid 90's that we only rebooted once in 3 years, because of an office move. I'm sure there were ways of making Linux crash back then, but stability was easy as long as you got hardware that was known to work.
