My NT machine regular is up 4-6 weeks without needing a reboot. It is my domain controller and serves a webpage. Windows 2000 does rock though. However, my FreeBSD machine has held up for 100 days straight without needing a reboot and the reason it went down was because of a power outage. :(

at work, our Sun servers are rebooted perhaps twice per year, and that's just as a precaution!

My NT machine regular is up 4-6 weeks without needing a reboot. It is my domain controller and serves a webpage. Windows 2000 does rock though. However, my FreeBSD machine has held up for 100 days straight without needing a reboot and the reason it went down was because of a power outage. :( If I took out all the hardware upgrades in that machine and went back to the factory configuration, it probably would work a couple of months without reboots. The problem was that after all the upgrades in memory, processors, graphics cards, hard disks, CD-RW writers, etc. it got less reliable. The whole menagerie of hardware started performing as if it had been preloaded at a factory with Windows 2000 when I upgraded the machine.
