I never thought I'd have an entry in the Uptime Wars.  So, I was pleasantly
surprised to find a colleague fiddling with an old 486 I set up ages ago
in a dank corner of the machine room to manage ppp over 2 leased lines to
outlying offices.

"Is anyone still using this?", I ask.
"Every day", he replies, "In fact, I'm adding more users."

$ uptime
 3:17PM  up 356 days, 23:56, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

So, we can have a birthday beer for it round the pub next Friday afternoon.

It runs 2.0.5 and seems to have a peaceful and productive existence.

Stephen.
