Oh dear, not this topic again.
Google is your friend. You'll find that bragging about how long one's
server has been up for is a perennial favourite on the web and around
newsgroups. One link that is a favourite amongst BSD'ers is:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html
The counter argument to all this "my uptime is bigger than yours"
tomfoolery is that any well managed server will be regularly upgraded,
run through power-on tests and so forth --- at least once a year ---
so uptimes stretching back to the pre-cambrian indicate a lack of
proper maintenance. Whatever.
Cheers,
Matthew
