No, I'm not concerned with that kind of detail. I've enjoyed ~2 hours of downtime (not including make worlds) this year, mostly due to insufficient UPS runtime and a few power outages. My boxes are up and working all the time (that's why I run FreeBSD) so I don't really care about the actual numbers, as long as my users are happy, all my services are running and I'm secure...I'm happy. I once had a 2.2.2-RELEASE box that had 9+months of uptime and would have gone forever if it wasn't for a little baby girl (who will remain nameless) who crawled in daddies office one day and pushed all the reset buttons. Sorry if this bothers you, but it's all good *for me*. (better?)
