Literally. I'll testify to that one. I had -*sniffle*- a FreeBSD 2.2.6-BETA (yes, BETA, an early one) box of my own design running for somewhere around 850 to 900 days, or close to two and a half years, before an extended power outage a week ago drained the life out of the UPS and took the box down. It came back up with no problems and is still running right now, though I plan on upgrading it to 4.1-RELEASE once it is available and arrives on my doorstep in CD form, ready to go a few more years without rebooting. I might need a bigger UPS to go that long, though. :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
