    I have had that much uptime on my desktop win XP box at one time but I just upgraded the processor and motherboard. John

      I have had servers running Exchange and SQL Server with twice as much uptime ;) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Actually, we run Windows 2000 on some servers here and they usually stay up for about 500h~1000h. After that, normally a reboot is necessary, cause there's always a new service pack or hot fix that needs a reboot. [edit]What's really impressive about Linux, is that, contrary to common belief, I managed to get such a stable machine without knowing lots of Linux stuff. Actually, it was my first server installation. But to get similar uptimes on Windows, you need to know lots about Windows.[/edit] ORACLE One Real A$#h%le Called Lary Ellison

                        One of the local newspaper's has a Win2K server set up for file sharing. It too is a K6 400, but I think it has 192MB of RAM. Its uptime was 483 days the last I got to check it. A week or week and a half later, a day long power outage wiped out that record :(( At least now I can install patches and not feel guilty about ruining a perfectly good uptime :) James "I despise the city and much prefer being where a traffic jam means a line-up at McDonald's" Me when telling a friend why I wouldn't want to live with him

                            They had a *very* well protected kernel in memory and you could just about crash anything on it without bringing down the server. We used to joke that you could take an axe to a netware server and it would keep on running. They also have a very ahead of it's time system for backup redundant servers that was super fault tolerant. We had one client out in the country who was a big time logging contractor and up time was so important to them they had a fault tolerant Netware server inside a steel shipping container literally buried in the ground behind the office with backup generators etc etc. It was our only token ring network and it was always interesting working on it. Now there's probably hardly anyone using Novell anymore (they decided to really stop supporting smaller clients by changing pricing and licensing policies and so we went to recommending NT), but it was the best there was for small to large business for nearly a decade. ------------

                                But it was more usual to see them in the trash after having to reboot them every few days. Then again, our sysadmin was an idiot. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.
