How reliable is the Snow Leopard Kernel?

Just few minutes I was surfing on the Web, chilling around google maps, chatting with my lovely and beautiful girlfriend and use Cisco VPN to encrypt my traffic over public wireless networks...

I didn't thought any wicked but suddenly I got an blue screen in Unix style:

WTF? OK, I thought, every kernel can get a hiccup. Fortunately all my written words in LyX of my thesis have been saved automatically so nothing lost. I've restarted my silvern baby and what's happend next?

Kernel panic!!

I've seen in my inner eye a new installation of Leopard - not Snow Leopard. I don't want to play with a baby - thats not the reason why I've bought a Mac. I need something reliable. If I wouldn't have such requirements I would save my money and work on an eeePC with Windows XP on it...

Now everything is working as got used to. Waiting for the next kernel panic: "Oooops, I want to cry"
