You would be better off with Slackware, and a conservatively built
kernel.

Most of the bitching about Linux stability comes from people using
kernels that are built for desktop use or have bleeding edge code
enabled.

That said, I would run NetBSD even on my desktop if the hardware support
were just a little bit better.

I really, really like NetBSD, and you might find it works great for your
desktop needs too.
