I'm not sure about that one. =)
No, I wasn't even thinking that - just reporting what a wonderful job it all
is - and yes, power supply here in Pompey UK is good (but we do pay thru' the
nose for everything in the UK). The last time I _did_ reboot that machine
was when my kettle lead shorted out and blew the fuses to my flats 240v
supply ring main.
According to the Linux counter site, there are more higher (my machine is 3rd
in the list):

There is an interesting point here that is worth noting. I don't think I
would BEGIN to try this with a 2.6 based kernel. And I am not sure it is
doable yet with a 2.4 kernel if the machine is to be exposed to the wild.
