Tomcat Or linux never hangs?
Depends on what you choose to install and on what. If it's a system with ECC memory and a very stable software distribution like Debian stable branch(currently "bookworm") or something then virtually never.

Megalomaniak If it's a system with ECC memory
This is an old motherboard (15 years old). It worked stable enough without frequent freezes, but the memory is ordinary.
(New comp with ECC — for work.)
If anyone needs it… this is the kind of thing that can reboot and "Wake On LAN" comps. Just a dynamic address will suffice.
SNMP - DA807
...yeah, it has to be plugged into a UPS.
Tomcat idk about ups, i run my home server without ECC and without UPS. Power failure is maybe few times a year or sometimes once every 5 years.. (grid network).
As for stability, get hypervisor like proxmox, which is debian based then you create your virtual machines/containers within and if a container fails, the proxmox is still availabe. If hw fails then youre out of luck.
Age is just a number, you wont know unless you try it out.
Tomcat I bet it does support some ECC memory of it's generation. Check the QVL's.

That sounds wildly barbaric to me. We don't do that.

We used to have a much more stable network. But due to current events, there are a lot more problems over time. It's War.

I checked. Where and how do I get my winnings in a bet?

Tomcat Apparently single sided unbuffered ECC ddr3 works with the V2(not sure about the Palm) but double sided doesn't. Not sure the actual error correction does tho. Supposedly the memory controller is capable of it tho, might require a bios mod which nobody is likely to do. Official QVL is a zip download so I can't be bothered to download it.

How is it apparent?
2.4.2 Memory configurations
You may install 1GB and 2GB unbuffered and non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
Officially it sounds like this:
According to Intel “Core i5 desktop processors and desktop boards typically do not support ECC memory”,[48] but information on limited ECC support in the Core i3 section also applies to Core i5 and i7[citation needed].
[citation needed] — that is, there is no guaranteed support. Even if memory with ECC is put in, it will work like ordinary memory. Xeon is needed for memory correction to work.
Indeed, several ECC modules are listed as “compatible” ( they still have to be found on sale), but nobody promises that correction will work.
Tomcat Ah see, I assumed you were using an old used Xeon.
kuligs2 yeah i trust MS as far as I can throw them. And I don't mean a laptop. 
Honestly I will likely be doing that soon. This is likely the way.
