PS I thought making a sun box running solaris was impossible to crash but managed that one recently as well!

No, that's actually very very easy if you know the right (wrong?) way to stroke it. It's also possible to leave it functioning but in various states of unrecoverable brokenness, thanks to the modular nature of most Unix systems. The admin tools and documentation seem rather primitive compared to Linux's, yet are incredibly over-engineered.

Basically, it's bizarre. ;-)
