What is every very cool is that the top 25 longest uptime on netcraft
are of BSD origin and that thirteen of which are FreeBSD. With proper
power conditioning I get around 2 years of uptime before rebooting a
firewall. Usually the only reason I reboot is to completely roll to the
a later production release.
