top that Coz with you're OS-Crap :fawkdance:

we have a G4 server here, I have to go kick it about once a month, sometimes twice :rofl:

What flavor of Linux? (or is it a solaris box?)

Our perforce (source control) server is a solaris 8 box that I had to kick last month. The last time it was rebooted before that was in october of 2002. Now that is some uptime.

It's a Redhat 8 system, only Solaris 8 box we have left is acting as our firewall for the internel office network, it goes a few months without a reboot. It's very picky though, it freaks out if we unplug the keyboard and the only keyboard it wants is it's Sun keyboard. I'm willing to bet we have some servers breaking a year of uptime, but considering they're web servers then they've got a ton of security holes from the lack of updates and reboots to apply new kernels. That's an example of the customer that doesn't know what they're doing, they buy a server and thing "oh boy I can sell hosting" and never touch security updates, kernels, etc...some of them aren't even aware they need to do that kinda stuff.

A few years ago I upgraded a Novell server to a windows system, it had 534 days of uptime. It was an internal fileserver for a church on a little battery backup that may have gave it 10-15 mins of backup time.
