I literally install the OS, firewall, services, and do all the module changes myself. I even do a custom kernel to match my hardware exactly and remove most other drivers. Takes a lot of time to do it 100% correct and test everything. It's ultra-important that it's secured before HF uses it.

I'm probably better off with new hardware entirely. I also want to do a new configuration because I'm having some conflicts between services I run which cause other problems which I won't divulge. Being sysadmin does take a lot of my time. It's just work that rarely goes noticed.

I'm sure for now we'll be fine with a few crashes a day. Sucks but honestly, nothing I can do about this immediately.
