Also in the 'not quite everyone crowd'...; definately not the latest h/w:

Not under any real load, but have banged away at it off and on (vsftp and apache), have a couple of NFS mounts from another file server and a Samba share (for one day now). The box is in the data center so I have left root logged into the desktop (Gnome) with a terminal window and Mozilla open.

This box is destined to take over http and ftp duties from a pII RH7.1 (1:57pm  up 195 days,  6:15,  3 users,  load average: 0.18, 0.25, 0.10) eventually and as I push more users towards it to up the loading we'll see what happens. As far as the kernel and updates goes I will let it run as long as it is happy. This is a custom install somewhere between a  server and workstation.
