If it made sense to have several hundred days of uptime, what is the point of all the development work done by the FreeBSD (and other OS) developers? These people work hard to improve the system and it makes sense to at least run the latest production release. In the case of FreeBSD, this means a reboot at least every three to four months when the CDs are released. -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
