[TriLUG] Server uptimes

[Robert Wagoner]

Kevin,

Here at the office, 4 of our servers (3 Linux and 1 OpenBSD) are at 325
days and counting, while some of our other Linux boxes have been
rebooted more recently for hardware installation.  Had we not lost all
power to the building on May 12-13, 2001, our string would be somewhat
longer.

For comparison, we have NetWare uptimes ranging from 37 to 166 days
right now, and Windows servers that have lasted for 31 days, which
should qualify for some kind of Special Olympics award.  :-)

Like James Manning, I have seen Linux systems running beyond the
jiffie-count rollover at 497+ days.

I also suspect that somewhere there is some big iron that hasn't been
IPL'ed since the previous Bush administration.  It's comforting to
remember there are systems that have been in continuous stable operation
for longer than NT has existed.
