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.

I got 0.99.4 to stay up 16 weeks ;-)

And the old GE/Honeywell 600 crashed due to rollover at 35 days, and we hit the bug first three years after it was coded. Hardware is better!
