Well to chime in with the others:

-  Currently running 4.4-STABLE (Nov 29th)
-  ATA devices:  CD-ROM and ZIP drive
-  SCSI devices:  Adaptec 29160 w/2 IBM Ultra160 18gig drives
-  SAMBA:  Yes (it's primary use!)
-  NFS:  No
-  Printers:  1 Parallel and 1 USB

The machine is an IBM IntelliStation M-Pro series w/Dual P2-333 & 192 meg ECC RAM.

The main purpose of the machine is our file, print, and mail server, I have a smaller box acting as our router/firewall to the Internet.  I've never had any problems with mysterious reboots on this 
platform in the past six months.

The following are some lines from "dmesg":
