[FLAMING DEATH]

yeah...Linux is awesome for uptime.

Two of my ancient, 200 mhz, 198 MB RAM boxes run 24/7 at work. Both run Debian Stable with KDE, Firefox (with Java and Flash plugins) and OpenOffice, installed from the Internet using 3 floppy disks.

The longest uptime so far for one of those boxes is 63 days. The only reason it's not longer is that I shut them down over holidays to save power.

I'm thinking of leaving just one running as long as possible to see how long it will take it to crash.

I believe this is the highest uptime of any system I'm currently supporting. It's a Sun V100 running Solaris 8. I actually have two mirrored boxes with the same config and uptime. It's an internal webserver, and doesn't get a whole lot of load, but the things also don't need much babying...
