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.
